Workation in Bukittinggi: the essentials
At 930 m in the Minangkabau Highlands of West Sumatra, Bukittinggi stays cool enough to walk around at midday, which sets it apart from most Sumatran cities. The Dutch called it Fort de Kock, and in 1948 it briefly became the seat of Indonesia's emergency government. Life gathers around the Jam Gadang clock tower and a large market, the Sianok canyon cuts along the town's edge, and Padang cuisine is eaten here at its source. Mount Marapi nearby is an active volcano whose eruptions and lahars have caused deaths in recent years, and hiking it is often restricted. Minangkabau International Airport is about 55 km away, and you will meet few foreign residents.
