Flores and the nearby Komodo National Park are located in East of Indonesia, in the province of East Nusa Tenggara. Most famous as the home of the Komodo Dragon, these collections of islands provide a wide variety of indigenous and often remarkable flora and fauna, along with dramatic coastal scenery and volcanic peaks. Long hidden in the shadows of its more famous neighbor Bali, the island of Flores is finally emerging as a unique destination of its own.

Unless you are exploring the area by the sea, Flores acts as the base to explore Komodo National Park. Most of the tourist infrastructure is based around the peaceful fishing town of Labuan Bajo, where there is a small range of hotels and a selection of bars and restaurants. Flores itself has many attractions and sites, including Mount Kelimutu, a volcano containing three peculiar colour-changing lakes.
