Manado offers a variety of terrain with hills, volcanic mountains and scenic plateaus.

It is estimated that Manado was inhabited in the 16th century and was called “Wenang”. Later, in 1623 the name was changed to “Manado”. Influenced by the foreign occupation, the culture reflects the outside influence. Urbanization of the people from Sangihe Talaud, Bolaang Mongondow, Gorontalo and Minahasa has resulted in a diverse population and culture.

Manado’s population is 342,264 people (1996). There are many places of interest in and around the city.
