The Mentawai Islands are consist of 4 islands (Siberut, Sipora, North and South Pagai) parallel to and about 100km off sumatra's West Coast. These islands are actually the peaks of a submerged mountain range and become separated from the mainland by a deep submarine trench sometime during the mid-Pleistocene Age, perhaps 500.000 years ago. Throughout the Mentawais dwell many endemic animals and plants of Indo-Malay origin, which have been left to their own distribution and evolution. Mentawai people as well as much of the flora and fauna are unique to these island. The people of Mentawais, whose total population is only around 33.000 actually consist of 3 different ethnic groups; the Pagaiese, the Siporese and the Siberutese. All are of Mongoloid blood with some Veddoid characteristics and are closely related to all belonging to the Ancient people of Indonesia. Travel to and from Siberut and on Siberut is not for those addicted to comfort. Local steamers sail fairly regularly to MuaraSiberut, the island's main town. There's no public transportation, no restaurants, no hotels, motorized
riverboat (dugout canoes) are the only transport to get to the island's town/villages or go on
foot/trekking. Mingle with the local people, stay overnight in their houses and adjoin with their
daily life is the highlight of the tour see more
