Otanaha Fortress and Limboto Lake





Gorontalo has many beautiful tourism places and two of them are Otanaha Fortress and Limboto Lake. I will tell you about our trip when we went to there.

We went there at Sunday,in April 12. We went there by a car, and the trip was 20 minutes. The first place is Otanaha fortress. Otanaha fortress has 1000 steps and it so high. We must walk to the top of the Otanaha Fortress. Otanaha Fortress has three parts, and they are Otahiya, Ulupahu and Otanaha. We can saw a rice field, Limboto Lake, houses, woods, and etc. After that we went to Limboto Lake. Limboto Lake is the beautiful lake that we have in Gorontalo. We went to the restaurant in the lake by a traditional boat. I'm very happy because that is the first time that I went to Limboto Lake. When I and my friends arrive in the restaurant, we are fishing for fish. But when I get the fish, it will lose and I always try to catch a fish, even though I can not catch a fish. After we fish, we ate together. we ate a burn fish (ikan bakar) with rice, chili and kangkung cha (water spinach). At 01.00 pm we back to home.

The fantastic tour in Otanaha fortress and Limboto lake


We (the lalampa students) with Jonna and Peter visited the Otanaha fortress and Limboto lake in April 12. Our tour was interesting, because the objects are beautiful.

The first object that we visited was Otanaha. Otanaha is one of cultural tourism object in Gorontalo. There are three fortresses such as, Otanaha fortress, Ulupahu fortress, and Otahiya fortress. It has more than 300 stairs. From the top of the fortress we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Limboto lake. After walk around the fortress and take the picture there, we went to the restaurant at the middle of the Limboto lake and we took lunch there.
We went to the restaurant by 2 boats, and it was very cool. It will be the unforgettable moment especially because we went with Jonna and Peter.
