Location
Cap Karoso is located in the unexplored Ate Dalo region (West Sumba), a part of Sumba that feels frozen in time. Local tribes follow Marapu traditions dating back to the Bronze Age, with everyday life captured in indigenous artworks, megalithic tombs, and traditional houses featuring soaring 25-meter-high roofs that connect to the world of the ancestors. This local culture is surrounded by spectacular unspoiled nature, home to a multitude of endogenous species, calling out to adventurous spirits. Cap Karoso itself is surrounded by miles and miles of a wild beach and a few sparse traditional villages.
