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.

I needed a real break and a good breath of fresh air far from the car horns in the south of Bali. Munduk was exactly what I needed: green, green, and more green! When you enjoy a sunset in the mountains from a simple little terrace in a home stay with local charm, that's true happiness. Waking up to the cockerels crowing and the sweet smell of a freshly prepared 'nasi goreng' gave me all the necessary energy for a day of easy walking. The waterfalls are incredibly imposing and gave me the freshness that I was searching for. It was also on the side of the road in Munduk that I ate the best 'martabak'. It's a shame however that so many hotels are built there and hide the view over the mountains.

Magnificent! Munduk is a nature lover's dream. A place that's completely 'zen'. Not only is the scenery a stunning shade of green that you won't see elsewhere, the rice fields are also amazing. Then there's the typical architectural style, great food and numerous waterfalls that you can visit
If you head to the upper levels of Munduk, you'll get some superb views of Buyan Lake and the surrounding region.
Munduk is on high land, surrounded by countryside. If I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be 'green' in ode to its lush, abundant natural surroundings. The waterfalls are easy to find - just open your ears and follow the sound of running water!
What's more, you'll find a range of traditional lodgings that are both charming and affordable.

Munduk, a nature lover's paradise!
