Headhunters!

Indonesia is home to a diverse range of cultures, and one of these is the Batak people. These individuals reside on an island in Lake Toba, and while they are now known for their friendliness, they were once infamous for their hostility.

In the past, the Batak people were not only headhunters but also practiced cannibalism. Visitors can explore the island, learn about this unique part of their history, and see some incredible ruins. Don't worry, though; you won't lose your head nowadays!
