Traditional village with well-kept tall houses, including many intricate details
Tondok Bakaru is a collection of houses along the road north of Mamasa – track, rather -, many of them of the traditional sort, with saddle-shaped roofs and decorated front panels, buffalo horns and wooden head. There is a mix of real old houses, and newer ones, with clearer paintings – always the same subject matter: bulls and cocks. Details like wooden ventilation windows show the quality of the craftsmanship of the local carpenters.
Similar villages in the area are Taupe, Loko and Tuson.
