East Flores, Administrative region in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.

East Flores Regency spans across 1,812 square kilometers, encompassing the eastern tip of Flores Island and the adjacent Adonara and Solor islands.

Portuguese traders established settlements in Larantuka before 1600, making it a significant trading center for sandalwood in Southeast Indonesia.

The region maintains strong Catholic traditions through the annual Semana Santa celebrations, featuring processions and rituals during Holy Week in Larantuka.

The regency contains nineteen districts with 229 rural villages and 21 urban areas, connected through local transportation networks and Gewayantana Airport.

Mount Ile Mandiri rises 1,510 meters above Larantuka, creating a natural barrier that separates the capital from the rest of Flores Island.
