Located at the extreme northern tip of Celebes Island, the area is a mixture of dense tropical forests and vast coconut plantations overlooked by numerous volcanoes, some still active and more than 2000 m high.
Spices, and more particularly cloves –sometimes known as “golden nails”- nutmegs and copra, are the main resources of the area, although fishing also plays an important part.
This is the country of flowers. Smiling and hospitality are here a long time tradition.
The majority of the population is Christian.
A few landmarks :
Manado is the provincial capital and is located 1500 km north of Bali, 1000 km south of the Philippines and 700 km north-west of Ambon.
