Sumatra’s Kerinci valley and its surrounding mountains are a photographer’s dream. The massive and diverse region is filled with lush tropical rainforests, steamy volcanoes, endless green rice paddies, pristine lakes, unique wetlands, abundant wildlife, a colorful traditional culture, and much more. You could spend months in the area and only just scratch the surface of what there is to explore. Below is just a sampling of the photos we’ve taken of this magnificent place.
