TANGKOKO BATUANGUS NATURE RESERVE
This
Nature Reserve is located on open grassland and is home to a great
variety of flora and fauna. There are black apes, Maleo birds, snakes,
wild pigs, hornbill birds and deer. But special interest is given
to the Tarsius Monkeys, which sneak out at dawn and dusk. About
the size of a Childs fist, these tiny monkeys are the smallest in
the world and a delight to see.
The reserve is located north of Bitung and covers
an area of 3,196 hectares. The day out is perhaps strictly for the
adventurous amongst you as the road is rough and the 3-hour trip
rugged, but for those prepared to make the journey, the delights
of the jungle await you. Lodging or cottages also available here
to all tourists who wish to spend the night.
