Four islands make up the Mentawai cluster off the West
Sumatra coast: Siberut, Sipora, Pagai Utara and Pagai Selatan.
The people of these islands still live in comparative isolation,
maintaining their age-old ways. Siberut is well known for
its untouched forests, a part of a nature reserve inhabited
by a number of animal species not found anywhere else, among
them some rare monkey species.
Beautiful coral reefs are found offshore.
