💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~11.8 hours of daylight in July — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The reviewed road product uses the generally drier highland window. Rain, landslides, traffic and local access can still change the long Makassar–Rantepao transfer.
- Light day: day 2 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
