Rawa Bento
The highest wetland in Sumatra at 1,333 meters, where meadows, waterways and the reflections of Kerinci's mountains come together.
Rawa Bento lies in Gunung Tujuh district. It is a high-altitude peat meadow wetland of about 1,000 hectares, formed from an ancient lake that gradually silted up. At the entrance, visitors can rent small wooden boats and paddle into the wetland along its waterways, watching the mist, waterbirds and the distant Kerinci volcano. It is also a favorite spot for birdwatchers. Rawa Bento is close to the Danau Tujuh entrance and Telun Berasap, so all three can be visited on the same day. A small entrance fee and boat fare apply.
