Description

Lewotobi Perempuan (1,703 m) is the taller cone of the twin Lewotobi volcano in the south-eastern part of Flores island, Flores Timur Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. It is paired with Lewotobi Laki-laki (1,584 m) about 2 km to the north-west; together they form a distinctive two-peaked skyline that marks the region. Although it is the higher of the two, Perempuan is far less active — the historical record notes only two eruptions, in 1921 and 1935 — while its "male" twin is one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes. A flank cone called Iliwokar sits on Perempuan's eastern slope. Because of the twin's activity the whole complex is closely monitored by Indonesia's volcanology agency (PVMBG), so any ascent depends on the official status and guidance. Route-specific information for Perempuan itself remains limited compared with Flores's more popular peaks.
