Tana Toraja Best Tourist Attractions. One thing that makes the Tana Toraja region so special is the believe of the local people towards life and death. When a person dies, this is seen as a temporary illness that will be followed by a second eternal life. The deceased person is embalmed and can remain in their own house for months or even years. During this time, clothes are changed, and food and drinks are served. via @koenboelrijkphoto
