An amazing diversity of societies exists here, with a distinct separation of old and new, traditional and modern within the many cultures themselves. This variety, along with some spectacular mountains, coastline, lakes and plains, makes Sulawesi a highly visited island. Many species of fauna found in Sulawesi can not be found else where in the world, like the black macaque, the babirusa wild boar, the anoa dwarf buffalo, the eccentric maleo bird, the saucer-eyed tarsier, and many beautiful and colorful butterflies. Transportation has improved greatly and a road now connects the whole way between Ujung Pandang (or Makassar) in the south and Manado in the far north. |
