Lonely Planet review

Only a few hours' bus ride from Bukittinggi, Danau Maninjau is a peaceful volcanic lake surrounded by verdant rice fields. Swim in the early morning dawn, watch the storm clouds climb over the crater lip and enjoy the cool climate. The road to get there is demanding - a 44-bend road switchbacks its way to the valley floor but the views are worth every turn.
