Flores’ main tourist attraction is adventure. For those of you who want to explore the island, love to learn about different cultures, are passionate about getting an in-depth experience of off-the-beaten-track tourist attractions, and love to travel, it is what makes Flores is perfect choice for traveler.
A traveler ventures off the beaten track, away from the crowds, and experiences things most don’t experience. Tourists focus on the destination, whereas travelers focus on the journey. As Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet, and travel once said “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” It’s the love of motion under a person’s feet which makes a traveler. A tourist can’t wait to arrive at his/her destination.
