South Kalimantan Indonesia

South Kalimantan Indonesia, The Meratus Mountains divide South Kalimantan into two distinct regions. The southern section of the province is much flatter, with large rivers snaking their way through lowlands to vast mangrove swamps along the coast, which accounts for South Kalimantan’s exceptionally fertile lands. Many villages and settlements are built along the Barito River by the indigenous majority, the Banjar. Exquisite traditional and commercial handicrafts are all made from local raw materials which include a variety of precious and semi precious stones, gold, silver, brass, iron and wide variety of woods including bamboo and rattan.

South Kalimantan is one of the largest timber and coal producers in Indonesia. Extensive forests with a wide variety of trees such as ironwood, meranti, pine and rubber have contributed to the province’s wealth. The provincial capital, Banjarmasin, lies a short distance from the delta of the Barito River. Much of the city’s business is done in the floating markets of the waterways. Local people build traditional floating houses made of wood or bamboo facing the river, called ‘lanting’.
