Marante
A traditional village right beside the Rantepao–Palopo road, where Tongkonan houses, riverside cliff tombs and hanging coffins are all close together and easy to reach.
Marante lies on the main road about 6 km east of Rantepao. The village has a row of ancestral Tongkonan houses and rice barns. Behind them, a stone cliff holds burial caves, tau-tau wooden effigies and suspended wooden coffins, and a small river runs below. Visitors are few, and it is easy to reach by public minibus. It can be combined with the village of Nanggala, further east.
