The Roe Ecotourism Association
This Trekking activity was developed by people from Roe Village, the “Roe Ecotourism Association”. The Association was formed in October 2007 with approximately 50 members from Roe Village. They divide their tasks between Porters, Guides, Cooks and Administrative Staff, all of whom are keen to make these 2 days a unique experience for you. The Guides and Porters are trained in Eco-Tourism and have a high awareness of the need to protect their natural environment and local culture. They are also trained in First-Aid, Rescue and safe Food Preparation – as your safety comes first.

Trekking Program: First Day
Drive 1h from Labuan Bajo to the Roe village, at the foot of the Mbeliling Mountain. Learn about the endemic Fauna and Flora from the local Rangers at the starting point while being served traditional snacks - carefully prepared by the local women’s association.
Start the 3-4h trek at 600m above sea level in Roe village and hike in the cool mountain forest where you can discover an amazing range of tropical plants as well as some rare species of birds and other wildlife.
A traditional lunch served in Banana leaves will provide you with enough energy to climb the peak of the Mbeliling Mountain. Arriving at the top, 1239m above sea level, you enjoy a breath taking view over Flores - from Labuan Bajo to Komodo on the west to an impressive volcanic crater lake in the east. Take a rest and watch the sunset while your guides set up the tents on the mountain top and start preparing a del icious dinner. Relax and dream under the stars, only separated from them by the roof of your tent.

Trekking Program: Second Day
Wake up to the calls and the sounds of tropical birds and enjoy the sunrise from this scenic campsite while the porters serve you hot coffee and a traditional breakfast fare with boiled bananas, corn, cassava and fresh fruit (seasonal). Continue hiking down to the astonishing Cunca Rami Waterfall, passing a village where you can experience the friendliness of local people, offering young coconut or fresh fruits.
Take a swim and shower under the waterfall and relax, spotting different kinds of birds as well as huge Honey combs in the rocks. After lunch you keep on walking along scenic paddy fields arriving in Werang village, where the car takes you back to your hotel in Labuan Bajo. If you are a strong hiker, you can also add 2.5 hours hiking, passing another village, ending up back in Roe.
