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.

We headed out to Bukit. The idea was to have fun paragliding. It was an unforgettable day! Once we got to the top of the cliff, we looked down over the coastline dotted with seaweed beds and beach warungs. One after another we harnessed ourselves to the pilot for this sports experience . Incredible to feel yourself lifted from the earth and flying so easily! From up there, I was able to admire the colours of the landscape between the sea and the earth, monkeys dancing in a temple down below, the helicopter landing strip of a private villa and especially the ceaseless activity of fishermen and seaweed farmers on their outrigger boats.

Thirty kilometres from tourist-crowded Kuta lies the gorgeous Bukit Peninsula. Its west coast, wild and tranquil, attracts surfers and tourists looking to get off the beaten track during their <a href="/indonesia/">trip to Bali</a>. Its east coast is more family-oriented and tends to attract people travelling with their children. Out of all the little "villages" located along the coast on the Bukit Peninsula, Bingin was the one I chose to stay at. Just like Padang Padang and Balangan, Bingin has a multitude of little hotels perched up on the cliffs and from which you can get straight down to the beach via a series of steps. Surfers will love the waves in this area, which are a lot bigger than in Kuta, and the crystal clear water makes it a snorkeller's dream. When not bathing in the sea, you have the option of venturing off on a scooter to see and explore the breathtakingly beautiful scenery or visit and tour Uluwatu Temple. When evening falls, you can sit and admire the sunset whilst sipping a delicious smoothie.

The Bukit Peninsula lies in Bali's extreme south and is famous for its cliffs and the long beaches they stand looking out over.
