The third largest island in the Indonesian Archipelago, Sumatra is rich in natural beauty and culture. The landscape is diverse with sprawling plantations, terraced rice fields and rugged mountains. Some highlights are Lake Toba, one of the deepest volcanic lakes in the world, and Bukit Lawang where the orangutan rehabilitation center is located. Sumatra is a prime destination for jungle treks and river rafting. The breakers around Nias Island attract surfers.
