Tomohon Traditional Market
Pasar Beriman Tomohon
Known as the 'extreme market' for selling bat, snake and other wild meats, it also offers flowers and produce from the Minahasa Highlands.
Located in the centre of the highland city of Tomohon, Tomohon Market is famous for its meat section, where traditional Minahasan game such as fruit bats, rats and snakes is sold. Foreign visitors have dubbed it the 'extreme market.' The scene is intense, so anyone with a weak stomach can stick to the fruit, vegetable and flower sections. Tomohon is also one of Indonesia's best-known flower cities and hosts an International Flower Parade every year. Indonesia has recently tightened controls on wildlife trade, so the goods on sale may change. It is about an hour's drive from Manado, and an early morning visit is recommended.
