Beautyfull but unsafe

2.00Ramang-Ramang was very beautyfull but the guides (2 + driver) spoke almost no english. They were very nice, but I am not sure that they were official guides. They Didn't have first aid equiptment. My husband fell through a wooden bridge in a ricefield,. The wooden bridge very old and rotten and many boards missing. One Board broke under my husband and with no first aid equiptment it was very difficult to clean the wound and stop the bleeding. I had to take of my blouse to use as bandaid. The firefly cave was very slippery and not easy to get in to or move around. Potentially dangerous to walk. We didn't experience the last of the trip due to my husbands accident, we needed to get back quickly to Makassar for hospital treatment.

5.00I visited Karst Rammang-Rammang on April 18, and it was an amazing experience. First, I explored Gua Kunang-Kunang (Firefly Cave), which was very unique and beautiful. After that, I took a boat ride along the Pute River, where the scenery was peaceful and surrounded by stunning limestone karst formations. Then, we walked around Kampung Berua, a charming village with beautiful natural views and a relaxing atmosphere. On the way, we also stopped to try local food. I enjoyed Coto Makassar and satay, which were both delicious and gave a perfect taste of local cuisine. Overall, it was a wonderful trip with beautiful nature, cultural experiences, and tasty food. I highly recommend visiting Rammang-Rammang if you are in South Sulawesi.
