Minahasa

The Minahasa Regency spans across 1,141 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, containing 25 districts with Tondano serving as its administrative capital.

The regency established formal governance in 1919, following centuries of tribal alliances that began in 1428 through agreements with neighboring communities.

Local communities maintain traditional practices through regional dances, ceremonies, and preparation of distinctive dishes such as tinutuan rice porridge.

The region operates multiple administrative centers across its districts, providing governmental services and support for agricultural development programs.

Lake Tondano, situated within the regency, functions as both a natural reservoir and a primary source for local fishing activities.
