Wawo Muda
A young volcano formed by an eruption in 2001, with several crater lakes that change color. It is about an hour's hike away.
Wawo Muda lies about 10 km north of Bajawa. After an eruption in 2001 it formed several crater lakes, whose water has been red, orange or green, earning it the nickname Little Kelimutu. From Ngoranale village, a trail climbs through pine forest for about an hour, with views of Inerie volcano along the way. The route is simple but unmarked, so it is advisable to hire a local guide. Lake colors and water levels change with the season, and the lakes may dry up toward the end of the dry season.
