Wawolesea Karst

Wawolesea Karst is rare and unique, 80 kilometres north of Kendari or just 10 kilometers from Tanjung Taipa Beach. There are a 500 square metres pond several metres from the beach with altar and travertine columns which formed by salty water hot fountain. The salty water came from tunnels below sea level and the hot water with temperature between 35 and 45 Celsius degrees came from active tectonic. The hot sandy around them is suitable for Maleo birds to bury their eggs which will hatch by hot sandy temperature. Anoa as endemic animal can be found also in this area.[4]
