The island of East Nusa Tenggara consist over 550 islands, but it is dominated by three main islands, they are Flores, Sumba and Timor. The arid landscape of eastern and southeastern is the result of hot and dry winds blasting from Australia Continent. In fact, many coastal areas not a drop of train falls during most of the year. Flores is a Portuguese name which means "flower" and ideally describes the beauty to be found here. The long island between Sumbawa and Timor is crowded with volcanoes and mountains dividing it into several distinct regions with individual languages and traditions.
