Flores is small by island standards, just about 360 km end to end. It is in the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands of Sumbawa and Timor. The name Flores is an abbreviation of "Cabo de Flores," a name used by Portuguese sailors in the 17th century to identify the cape on the eastern end of the islands with its underwater gardens. Divided by mountain chains and volcanoes, the island is populated by ethnic groups with their own traditions and languages. Read more in our Coffee Library.
