Lake Toba and the surrounding area is kept the charm, it is proper local government proposed it as a special tourist areas, related to the proposal as Caldera Geopark.

Socialization intensively carried out to the surrounding community and the community leaders, how will impact the region as a geopark.

Most communities in the visible region need time to understand the concept of geopark or garden earth.


Currently the Indonesian government has registered this region at the UNESCO, continue the steps that carried out by the previous president, SB Yudhoyono in 2014 which designated it as a National Earth Park.
