If you are looking for a quiet and unspoiled tourist spot, try visiting Goa Rangko which is located in Rangko Village, East Nusa Tenggara.

Currently, the need for travel for the people of Indonesia is increasing, especially for some people who live in urban areas who have to struggle with busy work and the hustle and bustle of the city every day. Escape to a tourist spot for a moment to feel the silence outside the capital city is a tantalizing option. But of course it will be a little disappointing when the expected atmosphere is not found because the place visited is filled with the same people looking for an escape from all routines.

If you are looking for a quiet and unspoiled tourist spot, try visiting Rangko Cave which is located in Rangko Village, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara which can be accessed from Labuan Bajo with a travel time of about 1 hour drive. This cave, which is often also called Goa Buaya—although nothing can be found in the vicinity—can be used as an alternative tour after or before a visit to Komodo National Park.

Nature Private Pool in Nusa Tenggara Timur

Goa Rangko is like a private swimming pool that offers silence for anyone who stops by to feel the freshness of the water in it. The water in the cave is salt water. The water comes from sea water, this is because there are cavities or gaps that connect the pool in the cave with the open sea. The top of Rangko Cave is filled with beautiful stalactite ornaments with various irregular shapes. The good thing is, there are no bats like in caves in general, so the quiet atmosphere will be felt by the visitors who come to this cave. If you want to visit Rangko Cave, it’s better to leave as early as possible from Labuan Bajo,because the right time to enjoy the natural beauty of this location is at 12.00 to 14.00, at which time the sun will enter the cave hole and can help lighting in the cave, so that the blue private pool of Rangko Cave can also be seen.

To achieve it, visitors can rent a boat belonging to the fishermen around the village. Rangko Cave is still rarely visited by tourists because there is not much information about this tourist attraction, plus there is no supporting transportation that is devoted to visiting the cave. Therefore, for those of you who want to find serenity while relaxing in the natural pool owned by Goa Rangko, this destination can be added to your list of your next vacation destination.
