Taman Purbakala Gua Leang-leang Jejak-jejak Tangan Purbakala

Di kabupaten Maros, Sulawesi Selatan ada sejumlah lokasi wisata yang menarik. Taman Prasejarah Leang-Leang adalah objek wisata purbakala yang berada tidak jauh dari Taman Wisata Alam Bantimurung.

Leang dalam bahasa Makassar berarti gua, dengan pengulangan kata berarti gua-gua atau kawasan gua. Sebab di daerah ini terdapat banyak gua peninggalan arkeologis yang sangat unik dan menarik.
Gua leang leang menggambarkan  kehidupan manusia masa lampau, deretan gua-gua yang ada di hamparan pegunungan batu itu sangat menarik perhatian terutama para ilmuwan.
Di sekitar pegunungan karst yang terhampar dari kabupaten Maros hingga ke Manado, dan konon adalah yang terpanjang di dunia ini, memang ada banyak sekali ditemukan gua-gua.
Lokasi Goa leang leang dapat ditempuh dari Bandara Sultan Hasanuddin dengan  menggunakan angkutan umum. Meski wilayahnya sudah tidak termasuk dalam Desa Wisata Samangki, namun dapat disebut sebagai objek wisata daerah sekitar Samangki karena letaknya hanya berjarak sekitar 7.5 kilometer dari Samangki.

Leang-leang terletak di Kelurahan Kalabirang, Kecamatan Bantimurung, Kabupaten Maros. Kurang lebih ada sekitar 60 buah gua yang tersebar di kabupaten Maros saja, dan banyak yang belum diselidiki isinya karena lokasinya terletak di bukit terjal dan tegak lurus.
Pada tahun 1950, Van Heekeren dan Miss Heeren Palm menemukan gambar gua prasejarah (rock painting) yang berwarna merah di Gua Pettae dan Petta Kere. Van Heekeren  menemukan gambar babi rusa yang sedang meloncat yang di bagian dadanya  tertancap mata anak panah, sedangkan Miss Heeren Palm menemukan gambar telapak tangan wanita dengan cat warna merah.
Menurut para ahli arkeologi, gambar atau  lukisan prasejarah tersebut sudah berumur sekitar 5000 tahun silam. Dari hasil  penemuan itu, mereka menduga bahwa gua tersebut telah dihuni sekitar tahun  8000-3000 sebelum Masehi.
Di kawasan Gua Leang Leang , ditemukan dua gua yaitu gua PettaE dan gua Petta Kere. Dua gua itu letaknya tidak berjauhan. Gua pertama tampak sewaktu memasuki kawasan disekitarnya terdapat rumah penduduk sebagai tempat beristirahat.

Gua PettaE , pintu gua dipagari besi setinggi 1500 cm. Dari pintu itu, gambar tangan sudah terlihat karena gua itu memang tidak terlalu dalam. ada lima gambar telapak tangan, tapi hanya  tiga yang utuh. Selain telapak tangan, ada pula babi rusa dan sebuah mata tombak yang semuanya berwarna merah.
Pada gua Petta Kere dapat ditempuh dengan berjalan kaki, kurang lebih 300 meter  dari Gua PettaE. Ada dua jalur yang dapat ditempuh. Jalur pertama menggunakan jalan yang sudah baik, jalur kedua melewati anak tangga di antara batu-batuan menyempit. dengan ketinggian  sekitar 20 meter dari permukaan tanah. disiapkan tangga besi berbelok.
Goa ini menyimpan gambar yang lebih banyak . Ada sekitar 27 gambar telapak tangan, tapi yang terlihat utuh hanya sekitar 17 gambar. Sebuah gambar babi rusa gemuk terkapar dengan sebilah tombak menghunus ke jantung.
Selain gambar-gambar pada dinding gua, di sekitar gua itu juga ditemukan sampah dapur berupa kulit kerang dan keong yang berserakan.
Leang Leang sendiri konon ditemukan oleh dua arkeolog asal negeri kincir angin, Mister Van Heekeren dan Miss Heeren Palm. Pada tahun 1950 mereka menemukan lukisan pada goa Petta Kere dan Pettae.

Untuk melestarikan dan memperkenalkan  gua-gua yang merupakan sumber informasi prasejarah tersebut, maka sejak tahun 1980-an pemerintah setempat mengembangkannya menjadi tempat wisata sejarah  dengan nama Taman Wisata Prasejarah Leang-Leang.
Tentang gambar tangan, ada tradisi purba masyarakat setempat yang menyebutkan, gambar tangan dengan jari lengkap bermakna sebagai penolak bala, sementara tangan dengan empat jari saja berarti ungkapan berdukacita. Gambar itu dibuat dengan cara menempelkan tangan ke dinding gua, lalu disemprotkan dengan cairan berwarna merah.
Zat pewarna ini mungkin  dari mineral merah (hematite) yang banyak terdapat di sekitar gua (di batu-batuan dan di dasar sungai di sekitar gua), ada pula yang mengatakan dengan batu-batuan dari getah pohon yang dikunyah seperti sirih.
Dibandingkan dengan tempat-tempat wisata alam yang ada di Pulau Jawa, Leang-leang termasuk yang paling bebas dari tangan-tanan jahil.  Tidak ditemukan adanya coretan-coretan di dinding goa maupun di batu-batu yang ada.  Hanya saja sebagian besar lukisan telapak tangan memang sudah agak pudar, yang menurut pemandu kami, disebabkan banyaknya orang yang menempelkan tangannya di lukisan tersebut.

Di kabupaten Maros, Sulawesi Selatan ada sejumlah lokasi wisata yang menarik. Dalam perjalanan kali ini, bersama teman-teman, saya hanya sempat mengunjungi dua lokasi saja yaitu: Leang-Leang dan Taman Wisata Alam Air Terjun Bantimurung.  Dan karena Bantimurung sepertinya sudah lebih sering dibahas, lebih baik kita fokus untuk membicarakan tentang Leang-Leang dengan daya tariknya yang unik.

Dalam Bahasa Makassar, Leang-leang berarti liang atau goa, yang dalam hal ini adalah bagian dari  Taman Prasejarah yang layak dikunjungi. Di sekitar pegunungan karst yang terhampar dari kabupaten Maros hingga ke Manado, dan konon adalah yang terpanjang di dunia ini, memang ada banyak sekali ditemukan gua-gua.  Kurang lebih ada sekitar 60 buah gua yang tersebar di kabupaten Maros saja, dan banyak yang belum diselidiki isinya karena lokasinya terletak di bukit terjal dan tegak lurus. Leang Leang sendiri konon ditemukan oleh dua arkeolog asal negeri kincir angin, Mister Van Heekeren dan Miss Heeren Palm. Pada tahun 1950 mereka menemukan lukisan pada goa Petta Kere dan Pettae.

Berada di komplek Taman Prasejarah itu, kami menyusuri jalanan yang terbuat dari semen, sambil tak henti

Pantai Tak Berombak Maros, Ikon Baru Dari Sebuah Inovasi

 Berbicara pantai, bayangan kita tentu adalah sebuah hamparan alam dengan suasana indah, nyaman, hempasan ombak, dan berbagai hal yang tak bisa terbahasakan. Entah, atas dasar apa sehingga lokasi ini populer dengan kata pantai. Padahal segala hal yang berhubungan dengan bayangan kita tentang pantai tidak ditemui ditempat ini, lokasinya hanya sebuah kolam dengan luas lapangan sepak bola dengan air yang tenang dan dikelilingi bangunan ruko di beberapa sisi.

Beberapa tahun lalu, kolam ini bahkan nyaris tidak memiliki nilai apa-apa kecuali sebagai tempat menyalurkan hobby bagi sebagian orang  untuk memancing. Namun saat ini,  kondisinya begitu terbalik sejak

RAJA AMPAT DIVING RESORT

As you might have notice that the Raja Ampat island group spreads out over a huge area and consists of over 610 islands, there are two resort for accommodation on the Raja ampat Islands:
Kri Eco Resort and Sorido Bay Resort.

KRI ECO RESORT

This is the longest established resort consists of traditional buildings over the water, along a jetty and offers traditional Papuan accommodation with excellent food and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Sitting on the edge of mountainous Kri Island the dive resort is shaded by palm trees that run along a long fine white sand beach. Wild birds awaken our guests each morning at sunrise so they will be on time for breakfast and the morning dive. We see Eclectis Parrots, Lorikeets, Kingfishers, Frigate Birds and others during the day.
An extra long jetty built over the large shallow lagoon in front of the eco-resort also leads to five of the guest houses. As a bonus, since accommodations are over the water, we often see sharks, rays and schools of fish in our "garden".

Kri Eco Resort currently has 6 over-water guest bungalows. Most of the buildings contain two rooms and at least one sitting area. Rooms are divided by partitions with doors and window coverings that can be closed for privacy. Each room has a mattress, pillow and mosquito net for bedding. Furnishings are hand-made benches or lounge chairs and tables where guests can relax, work on camera gear, talk and read.

One small over-water bungalow, located just a bit down the beach for a bit more privacy, contains only one room. Two Western-style flush toilets, are located on the island near the end of the jetty and are shared by all the guests.

The compressor, storage, toilets, baths and staff quarters are located on the island. Our dining and kitchen house is alongside the beach over the water! You can almost cool your toes while having dinner at high tide.

Inland from the beach are two Indonesian style baths, walled for privacy, one open to a view of sky and palm fronds, the other with a roof so you won't get wet while bathing!
The well, also located behind the resort's buildings contains a more than adequate supply of rain water for our needs. It provides guests and staff with bathing, toilet, camera rinse and cooking water. Water on Kri was hauled from the well by bucket and carried by hand, but now Kri has a pump and running water to the kitchen, western style toilets and for filling the bath containers. Drinking water is obtained from a neighboring island.

Meals are served in the large over-water kitchen/dining house on long tables sheltered by a palm frond roof. In the kitchen, coffee, tea and flavored drinks are always available for our guests.

The kitchen is always busy with our staff cooking over the gas burners in large woks or stew pots and an oven where Yolanda bakes fresh bread and occasionally pizza! There are no electrical appliances, everything is made my hand. In back of the kitchen, the staff slice fresh vegetables and fruits in the open air under the shade of the trees. Each meal is prepared fresh. Ice boxes, supplied weekly from Sorong, contain fresh meats and can chill a beer when required.

SORIDO BAY RESORT
The new "Sorido Bay Resort" offers western comforts in traditional Papuan setting. It is a combination of modern and traditional building methods to create a balanced and comfortable resort. This resort is built for the more demanding diver and specially the UW photographer.

The resort has all comforts but is completely integrated in nature and has one of the worlds richest dive sites as its house reef. The boats used for dining are silent (Honda 4 stroke engines) and all diving is tailor made and personalized.

NOTES:
* There is no dive activities arranged on Saturday. This day is a day of rest. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided, however offer no diving. Guest are invited to go hiking, kayaking, birding, snorkeling, play badminton a.o. This day to relax is generally well appreciated, we just state it here so things are clear.
* Each Sunday, transfers by boat take place from the airport/coastal city of Sorong (Papua) to the dive resorts, located on Kri Island. The trip takes about one and a half hours and covers 75 km. These transfers are free of charge. If you do plan to arrive in Sorong on a Saturday, we are more than happy to arrange accommodation for you in Sorong.

Raja Ampat General Information

General reef conditions
water temperature: 27-30 C/ 80-86F
visibility: 10-30M / 33-98ft
current: moderate to strong

There is a great place to dive in the off-shore of Sorong, precisely situated on RAJA AMPAT ISLAND GROUP. The Raja Ampat area of Northwest Irian Jaya is filled with islands, surrounded by reefs and inundated with fish! After 9 years in the area we have only begun to discover the natural treasures awaiting us on each dive.

The Raja Ampat island group spreads out over a huge area and consists of over 610 islands. The four largest islands are Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati and Misool and are located at the Westside of the "Bird head peninsula" in Irian.

The Raja Ampat has only recently been discovered by scientist to house world's richest reefs systems. The group of islands is situated on the equator, is part of Papua and counts more than 600 islands. Till this very day the area is virtually unexplored and unknown due to its size, what we do know is that it has revealed to harbor an amazing diversity of breathtaking underwater life. The first dives in this area was pioneered in 1990.

The area's reefs are covered in a diverse selection of both hard and soft corals. Most of the areas reefs are pristine, with mile after mile of perfect hard corals, drift after drift of Dendronephya (soft) corals of many species and colors ranging from brilliant red, to shocking yellow pretty pink and exotic purple. Most reef dives are very colorful.

Among, above, and on top of the corals are fish. Schooling fish, solitary fish, beautiful fish, ugly fish, large fish, small fish! Some fish that are considered to be rare in many parts of the world are abundant in the Raja Ampat area. For example, many Sargassum Frogfish are found in the floating weed in front of the dive resort.

Wobbegong Sharks are found on many dives, often lying atop perfect table corals like a fish carefully arranged by a chef on a dinner plate. The Epaulette Shark, a small shark only a foot long, is numerous and found very often on night dives in the seagrass or even on the shelf of a wall dive.

Giant Clams are found at many of our dive sites. These clams are large enough to swallow a child, but are embedded in the reef and covered with soft corals, tunicates and sponges so thick they can barely close their shells. Wai Island has a "Giant Clam Area" just off the beach.

The offshore reef sites, especially those near Kri Island are poplulated with MEGATONS of schooling fish! Many different species school in the current sometimes mixing so that a diver is surrounded by a chaotic mass of fish life. The most common to see are barracuda, jacks, bannerfish, surgeonfish, fusiliers, parrotfish and snappers. All in many species. The fish are so dense that they sometimes block the view of your dive buddy or the surface!

The Raja ampat area is not only stunning underwater. Topside, the islands have a very diverse topography with steep mountain shores and deserted white sand beaches. The area is far off the beaten track and is rarely visited by foreigners. The raw beauty of the islands will fascinate you. It's dense jungle interior is known for its many orchids and the paradise birds. Waigeo and Batanta have the Wilson's and the Red Bird of Paradise both endemic to this area, as well as abundantly present Lorikeets, Parrots, Kingfishers, Eagles and Hornbills.
