Kawah Ijen - a trip to the bowels of the earth

Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment.  If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!

Bromo, the pearl of Java

If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.

No to plastic

Bali is a paradise on earth, and it's not for nothing that it's called the Island of Gods. You need to stay there for several days if you really want to appreciate everything it has to offer. This is a brief presentation of the things to see in Bali.

Welcome to the Island of Gods and all its marvels.

Denpasar is the main city of Bali island, it is to and from here that domestic and international flights land and take off.

Selamat Detang! Indonesia was born under a lucky travel star: amazing deep sea diving, treks along a volcano rim, exquisite landscapes as varied as virgin jungle and terraced rice paddies, a cuisine of a thousand flavours. There is no doubt that the innumerable attributes of this country will delight travellers … But a trip to Bali or to Indonesia, is not only the discovery of incomparable natural wonders, it is also an encounter with an extraordinary culture. It is the largest archipelago in the world, with 13,000 islands (some say up to 17,000!), it is also the fourth most populated country in the world with 240 million inhabitants. With ancient connections to India and China, and later with the Middle East, what was once a trade route quickly became a crossroad for cultural exchange. This history explains why there are still, to this day, many religious practices (Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Animism), coexisting side by side in Indonesia.

To me the Kintamani region is one of the most beautiful places in Bali. The landscape is marked by jagged hills dominated by Mount Batur, a volcano that is still active today. At the foot of the volcano stretches Batur Lake; for a good view of the region, go to Penelokan village south of the lake, the panorama is incredible and holds the promise of lovely photos . For hiking fans , a guide association proposes to accompany you up the volcano to admire the rising sun. Kintamani also houses one of the most important temples in Bali, the Pura Ulun Danau Batur, erected in honour of the goddess of the lakes and rivers, Dewi Danu. Previously destroyed by an eruption and then rebuilt higher up, it is the object of great devotion.

I love this place! Kintamani boasts a magnificent, volcanic landscape. If you head out of the village, you'll find amazing views of the volcano and the lake. You'll also see orange groves. Here, you'll be plunged into local daily life - farmers working their fields and kids dressed in national colours heading home from school. This is the real Bali! If you want to climb the volcano, you'll be pleased to know you don't need to be super fit! If you go at your own pace you should reach the summit in 2 to 3 hours. It's best to go with a guide (better safe than sorry!) and, as with most volcanos, I suggest you start out early enough to watch the sun rise from the summit! Good idea to be accompanied...

Kintamani is a little village at the foot of Mount Batur; a moment in nature beside a volcano!
