Tojo Una Una Regency

Tojo Una Una is an administrative region in Central Sulawesi that spans the eastern peninsula and includes the Togian Islands in the Gulf of Tomini. The area is divided into twelve districts distributed across the mainland and the island archipelago offshore.

The region was established on December 18, 2003, carved out from the northeastern districts of Poso Regency, with Ampana Kota set as its administrative center. This creation brought a new territorial unit into existence with its own governance structure.

The population lives across two distinct environments: the mainland and the islands, where fishing and farming remain central to daily life. This split geography has shaped different ways of living depending on where people settle.

Visitors typically arrive through Ampana Kota on the mainland and can then travel by boat to the Togian Islands, which takes several hours offshore. The best time to explore is during the drier months when the sea is calmer.

The Una Una volcanic island experienced a major eruption in 1983 and now hosts three small villages nestled among coconut plantations. This resettled life on an active volcano shows the resilience of the local people.
