About West Sumatra
West Sumatra is a province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra dominated by active volcanoes and hilly rainforests. The city of Bukittinggi is a base for exploring the inland villages and culture of the indigenous Minang people. Their unique curved-roof architecture is found throughout the area, including at the former Pagaruyung Palace. Bukittinggi is also known for Panorama park, overlooking verdant Sianok Canyon.
