Luwu, Administrative regency in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Luwu Regency extends across 3,000 square kilometers of tropical terrain, including mountains, valleys, and coastal areas at 735 meters above sea level.
The territory derives its name from the Luwu Kingdom, which emerged in the 13th century as one of the three major kingdoms in South Sulawesi.
The La Galigo manuscript, originating from Luwu, stands as the longest epic literature in existence, surpassing the length of the Mahabharata.
The regency subdivides into 22 districts containing 207 rural villages and 20 urban settlements, with Belopa serving as the administrative capital.
Local culinary traditions feature kepurung, a distinctive dish prepared from sago plants, along with regional specialties such as dange, pacco, and bagea.
