Tomohon Extreme Market (Pasar Extreme Tomohon)

Destination
Tomohon
Group size
1-8 travelers

Walk through Pasar Beriman in Tomohon, the market known as the “extreme market”, for an unfiltered look at Minahasa food traditions.

Highland fruit, vegetables, flowers and snacks fill most of the market, while some stalls openly sell meats such as bat, snake and rat. Many visitors find that confronting, so Michael can keep the walk to the produce and snack sections. Go in the morning, ask before photographing vendors, and continue to Lake Linow, Mount Mahawu or Gardenia.
