Rantepao
Capital of North Toraja Regency and the travelers' home base, where guesthouses, cafés, guides and car rentals are concentrated.
Rantepao is the base for exploring Toraja. The town center has the large Bible Monument roundabout, a traditional market, and rows of guesthouses and restaurants. Here you can sample Toraja coffee and pa'piong (pork cooked in bamboo), ask guides about upcoming funeral ceremonies, and rent a motorbike or hire a car to visit the villages. The town has ATMs, but village areas almost exclusively accept cash.
