Lake Toba – One Giant Volcano

Lake Toba is located on the east coast of Sumatra, an island nation in Southeast Asia. This lake is considered as one of the most important lakes in the world. It is also known as the “blue lake” because of its rich green waters. The lake has been a major tourist attraction since early times of Asian history. Its location and abundance of fish population have made it a popular holiday destination for tourists from all over the world.

Lake Toba is one of the five natural lakes of South East Asia. This is the largest of the five and is considered as one of the most important natural lakes in the world. This lake has been a tourist attraction since ancient days. Indicators that show the rich history of this lake can be seen from the number of artifacts that can be found in its waters, as well as the tribal paintings found in its many caves. In fact, the lake is said to have the richest wildlife in the whole of South East Asia. The lake toba has become a world heritage site for the country of Indonesia.

This gigantic volcanic eruption is the main reason why the lake today is such an attraction to many tourists. The island of Sumatra is at the very south tip of South East Asia. Sumba is at the very north tip of the island. The two cities share a long border, which was seen by the first generation of travelers looking for an easy way to reach the Indochina Island from South East Asia.
