Bulukumba

The regency spans across 1,175 square kilometers of southeastern Sulawesi, encompassing ten distinct districts with Ujung Bulu as its administrative center.

The regency emerged as a maritime center where local populations developed sophisticated shipbuilding techniques, particularly in constructing wooden Pinisi vessels.

The districts of Bulukumba maintain strong connections to Bugis traditions, with local communities specializing in traditional navigation methods and wooden boat construction.

Visitors can access multiple coastal areas throughout the year, with temperatures maintaining steady levels between 30 and 32 degrees Celsius.

The district of Lemo-lemo continues the centuries-old practice of constructing Pinisi ships using traditional methods passed down through generations.
