Tomohon Fresh Market

The large fresh market in Tomohon is a good stop on any tour of the North Sulawesi highlands. The market appears to sell just about everything for the daily needs of the local people - and I do mean everything. The "meat" section is not for the faint of heart. You'll most likely find beef, pork, chicken, snake, bat and dog on sale.

Vegetables and spices on sale in the market

Skip the meat section if you'd rather not see fresh roasted doggy. There's plenty to see, like fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and household items.

A young boy who looks like he'd rather be elsewhere than his mother's flower stall.

The market is next to the city's main bus station. A stop here is included on most highlands tours, such as those offered by Manado-based Safari Tours.
