Tampang Allo

A natural cave tomb of Sangalla nobility, with decaying wooden coffins and skulls at its entrance and dozens of tau tau effigies lined up beneath the cliff.

Tampang Allo is a limestone cave tomb beside rice fields, said to be the burial place of Sangalla nobles from the 16th century. Inside and outside the cave lie decaying boat-shaped wooden coffins, skulls and many tau tau effigies. The atmosphere is more primitive and far less visited than Londa. A guard at the entrance collects admission (about 10,000 Indonesian rupiah) and can lend a torch for entering the cave. It is not far from Suaya, so the two are easy to visit together.
