Luwuk, Administrative capital in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Luwuk extends across 72 square kilometers of coastal terrain at the eastern end of Central Sulawesi, bordered by the Peleng Straits to the southeast point.
The establishment of Luwuk as the capital of Banggai Regency occurred in 1999 when the region separated from the original larger administrative territory.
Three distinct ethnic groups form the indigenous population of Luwuk: the Saluan people, the Balantak communities, and the Banggai inhabitants.
The Syukuran Aminuddin Amir Airport connects Luwuk to other Indonesian regions while two universities, UNTIKA and UNISMUH, provide higher education opportunities.
Luwuk records some of the lowest rainfall measurements in Indonesia, with annual precipitation reaching only 1,051 millimeters despite its tropical location.
