And just say the same driver to get off at Setu Babakan. Until the Setu Babakan place was built around mid-October in 2000. We would welcome the Great Gate titled 'Port of Entry I Bang Pitung Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village'.

Well, from there we've started to see the houses Betawi architecture. And it turns out not only the citizens of Batavia that may have a home in the Village Setu Babakan entrants were allowed to buy land and build houses there, it's just the physical characteristics of the building must conform with the architecture of Betawi.

Not far from the entrance there is an alley next to the big house. Go to the alley makes it easy for us to tour arenas this culture. In the midst of these areas will we see a big stage that also beraritektur Betawi. In these places we can see a variety of art performances such as the Betawi Betawi Cultural Art Exhibition every Sunday at around 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (WIB), Betawi Dance Exercise on Sunday and Friday mornings, and Wednesday afternoon.

Then that is not less interesting is, the Air Tour. Babakan Setu and Setu Mangga Bolang sinfulness that there be a place of exciting fishing bersanma friends, family and even a girlfriend. And there we do not have to worry about starving. Deratan food vendors along the Setu Babakan seemed endless. And it was unique, because here we can find various kinds of special food Betawi. From start soto betawi, crust egg, pancake, gado-gado, until stew jengkol also available here. So we need not linger waiting for Jakarta Fair to enjoy all the typical food Betawi.

Besides the two types of tours had added a culinary tour of course. There is one more package tours offered by this place. Agro tourism, tourists are not unique here will be invited to the plantations or agriculture. Instead the court invited to people's homes which are plant-specific Tanama Betawi.
