Travel Guide Solok

At a distance of 64 km northeast of Padang, Solok lies on an opulent plain, surrounded by the majestic Bukit Barisan mountains. Continuing on the same road, some 45 km away, you'll reach Cupak, often described as the country's most beautiful traditional village. Richly decorated houses and roofs that seem to emerge from the sky give Cupak a remarkable aesthetic. If you continue on your way, a charming hike near Lake Singkarak, towards Gagoan Peak, will guarantee you picturesque scenery. The local economy is based mainly on extensive rice, coffee and rubber plantations.
