Pematang Siantar is the second largest city, lying 128
km to the South of Medan. On the way, you will pass through
many rubber, cocoa, palm oil, tobacco and tea plantations.
This is the richest part of North Sumatera, because these
plantations produce the main export commodities.
Then onward to Lake Toba, you will see a vast stretch of
land covered with thick forests, plantations, terraced rice
fields, lush vegetation, green hills and mountains.
