Tana Toraja, Administrative regency in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The regency spans 2,054 square kilometers across mountainous terrain with elevations ranging from 150 to 3,000 meters above sea level.
The Dutch East Indies government established Tana Toraja boundaries in 1909, leading to its transformation into an independent regency by October 1946.
The Toraja people maintain traditional funeral ceremonies lasting multiple days, accompanied by buffalo sacrifices and ritual dances in their ancestral villages.
Travelers reach Tana Toraja through a seven-hour journey covering 305 kilometers from Makassar, with accommodations available near cultural sites.
The cliff-side burial sites at Lemo contain graves carved into rock faces, featuring wooden effigies called Tau Tau representing deceased individuals.
