The Bantimurung-Bulusaraung National Park is located in Maros, 50 kilometres from Makassar, and covers three ecosystems over its 43,750 hectares. The karst ecosystem, with its valleys and tropical vegetation, makes the park an ideal spot for endemic butterfly species, and there also is a butterfly museum within the complex. The park also features a lowland forest ecosystem and a lower montane forest ecosystem. Visitors can marvel at crystalline stalagmite and stalactite formations in the caves in the complex and enjoy hikes to get to them and to the 15-metre high Bantimurung Waterfall.
