Solok lies on the Trans-Sumatra Highway, 64 km from Padang
and 76 km from Bukittinggi. The town has some fine examples
of Minangkabau architecture with horn-shaped roofs and outer
walls of wood, completely carved and painted in brilliant
colors. Sixty km from Solok are the Twin Lakes (Danau Diatas
and Danau Dibawah) which are becoming popular as a holiday
resort.
Cool mountain air and beautiful landscapes are seen from
the hill between the two lakes have made this spot extraordinary.
Set only about 1 km apart, one of the lakes is on a slightly
higher elevation than the other.
The spot offers an impressive panorama of the surrounding
countryside and offers itself excellently to hiking or camping.
