In the heart of South Kalimantan lies Martapura, famously known as the "Diamond Village." This bustling town has been the center of diamond mining and trading for centuries, where skilled craftsmen cut and polish precious gems by hand, passing down their expertise through generations. Visitors can explore the lively markets filled with glittering stones, jewelry, and traditional crafts, offering a glimpse into the region’s rich heritage of gem trading.

Beyond the diamonds, South Kalimantan is home to the Dayak tribe, the indigenous people of Borneo renowned for their deep spiritual beliefs, artistic expressions, and harmonious way of life with nature. The Dayak communities welcome visitors to experience their traditions, from intricate longhouses and tattoo art to ceremonial dances that celebrate their connection to the land and ancestors. Journeying through this region offers both cultural immersion and the chance to witness one of Indonesia’s most fascinating living traditions.
