Overview

About this journey

Why we built it this way

Les is the kind of village most itineraries drive straight past. Your host here is a salt farmer who still works the beach the way his grandparents did, and everything on day one happens at his pace: the salt pans, the lontar palms, lunch on a hill he chose himself. Day two flips from land to water, and ends with your hands in a wood-fired kitchen.
