Abstract
This document describes the major ecotourism attractions of the Ruteng Nature Recreation Park in Flores, which was established in August 1993. Development of the Park began in 1995 with assistance from the Indonesia Biodiversity Conservation Project (IBCP) funded by the Asian Development Bank. I served as the Team Leader of the IBCP in Flores (1995-1996). My major tasks were supervising the completion of a 25 year management plan for the Park, and providing technical assistance during the first year of implementation of the new management plan. Another task was preparing this short booklet for visitors that describes the major ecotourism attractions in the Park and the surrounding buffer zone. The attractions include hiking trails to a volcano, lakes, and waterfalls in areas with diverse wildlife and vegetation.
