Bagging It!

Mount Awu is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. It dominates Great Sangihe island. The last major eruption was in 2004 when a new lava dome emerged. There are boats from Manado to Sangihe island’s main town of Tahuna and the hike can be completed in a single day. The hike begins near the village of Angges.
