Items to Bring

Because Wae Rebo sits high in the mountains with chilly nights and basic facilities, packing the right gear is very important.

Sturdy trekking shoes or trail sneakers. The forest path from Denge to Wae Rebo can be steep, rocky, and slippery, especially after rain.
Warm jacket or fleece. Temperatures at 1,200 meters drop quickly in the evening and early morning.
Lightweight daypack. Carry only what you need for one night, and leave your big suitcase safely in the car.
Raincoat or poncho. Mountain weather in Flores can change fast, even during the dry season.
Flashlight or headlamp. Electricity in the village is limited to a few hours at night, so a small light is very helpful.
Personal toiletries and wet wipes. Bathrooms in the village have cold mountain water and basic facilities.
Extra cash. Bring small Indonesian Rupiah bills if you want to buy organic Wae Rebo coffee beans or handmade woven cloth (Songke) directly from the villagers.
