• 11.00 – 13.00 | Colors of the Earth: We descend to visit the Pelangi Garden (Rainbow Garden) or the famous Lake Linow. Because the lake changes colors from turquoise to green, it feels like magic. Ultimately, we enjoy a relaxing lunch at D’Linow Restaurant, where the view is just as good as the food.
• 13.00 – 15.00 | The Secret Hot Spring: We take a scenic drive to Langowan to visit the Toraget Hot Spring. Specifically, this isn’t just a pool; it’s a natural spring lake!
