Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Superb limestone rocks, aged over time, surrounded by hills makes for a spectacular sight.
Don't miss the ceiling with the impression of hands, a drawing of a boar and a fish , all dating back to centuries old man in evolution.
It's a moderate climb, so make sure you have your sports shoe on !
A must do !

It takes about 2 hours from Makassar. You can enjoy the fresh air, rice fields, and karst view in here.
Actually this is a prehistoric cave with super beautiful views. You can learn and explore all about it in here!

Prehistoric site definitely worth a visit. Nice walk trough the site and a bit of efforts to see the Prehistoric traces.

The trail leads to the prehistoric cave painting is locked so you could not enter yourself. You need to register at the entrance (opening hour: 8am-6pm) and a staff will guide you. You need to climb a big rock in order to view the painting clearly. The painting is very less (lesser than I thought) and not really impressive compared to the one I have seen at Gua Tambun, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.
The karst outside the cave is more attractive, but you may skip it if you are going to Karst Maros or Rammang-Rammang Village.

The area was well maintained than other attractions I have visited in Indonesia. I was guided by a policeman, who was very nice, informative, and helped me to take some pictures. The scenery was beautiful and the access was quite easy (except if you want look certain cave paintings). This place also often used for pre-wedding photo sessions. The stones in this area was actually an ancient corals. Which makes experts believe that this area was once an ocean. On the ground area I also saw some part with beach sand and shells. Here we can also came into the caves where there were ancient paintings from thousands years ago, which make this probably one of the oldest painting in the world.

I will not write a lot. It is a beautiful place, yes! But the most important is that the Cave of Hands is there! It has recently been aged as 40,000 years old.

If you are in Southwest Sulawesi and want to see the oldest art in the world, you cannot miss this place. These caves host 40,000 year old hand stencils and paintings of wild pigs. This is more than ten times older than the pyramids and was almost as old to the ancient Egyptians as it is to us. The access is easy in a day trip from Makassar or Maros and there were very few tourists, which made the area even more alluring.

The Leang Leang park and caves are about 7 miles outside of the town of Maros (capital of the Maros region) or 1 1/2 hours from the cruise port of Makassar. Beautiful green karst/limestone formations surround the area. Toilets are available at the entrance buildings. A pleasant walk through the gardens and across a small stream take you to the hill where the caves and petroglyphs (a hand stencil and a reddish colored babirusa/pig/deer) are located. A climb up some stairs and through a locked gate takes you to the 39,900 year old paintings. A very interesting place to visit, and well worth the time.

I visited this place after visiting Rammang-rammang and Bantimurung. I enjoy the breathtaking hills view and beautiful stones garden. But when I wanted to visit the prehistoric site the door was locked and no one from the park there so I couldn't enter it.
