The Komodo Dragon Varanus komodoensis is the largest lizard in the world. Also know as a varanid or monitor lizard, it grows to 2.5 meters in length and around 125 kilos. At the top of the food chain the dragon is an alert and agile predator, worthy of respect. Their bacteria laden bite is lethal without medical treatment. Their tails are also a powerful and dangerous weapon which can be thrashed with bone breaking force. The regular flicking of their forked tongues drives their acute sense of smell.
Flores, a long island located between Sumbawa and Timor, is strewn with volcanoes in a mountain chain dividing it into several regions with distinctive languages and traditions, scenic beauty, good beaches, and natural wonders. The name is Portuguese for "flower", as the Portuguese were the first Europeans to colonize East Nusa Tenggara. Surrounded by 101 smaller islands, the Flores archipelago itself is endless in diversity. It is a dazzling kaleidoscope of prehistoric dragons and wild horses, colored mountain lakes and active volcanoes, traditional villages and megalithic cultures, coral reefs and untouched beaches. Flores is 360 kilometers long and varies from 12 to 70 kilometers wide. Although the rains here are often irregular, the high mountains insure a fairly constant supply of water. Elsewhere the people depend on manioc and corn.

Islands. Early morning we transfer to the harbor to get on board a local
motorized boat to Rinca Island. Here we will trek to find the Dragon in its
natural environment. The trails lead through hot, arid terrain and savannah
to river where Buffalo, boar, deer, horses and monkeys find relief from the
intense sun. People rarely visit this area so the Komodo Dragons are not use
to human presence.
Returning to the boat, enjoy lunch as we cruise to Komodo Island for additional sightings. On our way back to Labuanbajo, Flores, we will stop for a swim and snorkeling at Pink Beach. Dinner will be served at a local restaurant. Overnight at Bajo Eco Lodge.
