After breakfast, continue the journey to Liang Bua Cave, internationally known as the Hobbit Cave.

Archaeologists estimate that these remains date back around 18,000 years. Excavations also uncovered fossils of prehistoric animals such as stegodons (ancient elephants), Komodo dragons, turtles, and giant lizards.  Explore the cave area while learning about the fascinating history of human evolution and archaeological discoveries in Flores. Afterward, enjoy a short exploration of the beautiful Ruteng countryside, featuring scenic rice terraces, mountain landscapes, coffee plantations, and authentic village life.  Lunch will be served at a local restaurant before continuing the drive back to Labuan Bajo.
