Cancar Spiderweb Rice Fields
In Manggarai you will certainly notice the impressive lingko fields. The most amazing view over a number of these fields is offered at Cara Village situated on a small hill 17 km west of Ruteng in Cancar. With their round, spiderweb-like structure, these pieces of land are unique eye-catchers in Manggarai. The lingko fields are primarily used for wet-rice cultivation. With the dominance of this new form of farming, the significance of the traditional agricultural calendar with its rituals and ceremonies, embedded in the planting and harvesting of dry rice and corn, has also faded.
