Wolo Inelika

Wolo Inelika is an active volcano on Flores Island featuring a summit crater and volcanic lakes at different elevations around its slopes. The mountainside is covered with vegetation and offers views across the surrounding landscape.

The volcano formed through geological processes along the Pacific Ring of Fire with significant activity recorded in 2001. The landscape has continued to evolve since that eruption.

Local communities in the Ngada region have developed traditions tied to the mountain's natural patterns and seasonal rhythms. These practices remain woven into daily life and local celebrations today.

Visitors need permission from local authorities and should plan trips during the dry season from April to October when conditions are best. The terrain can be steep and muddy, so sturdy footwear and caution are important.

The mountain contains multiple crater lakes at different elevations, creating a stepped pattern visible from neighboring villages. This arrangement makes the volcano distinctive when viewed from a distance.
