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 had barely arrived in Lombok before the travel agents were trying to sell me a trek to Mount Rinjani. After some hard negotiating, I decided to do this trek in 2 days: going as far as the volcanic crater and then going down again, unlike other treks which go up to the summit. The trek starts at an altitude of 1,000 metres and it's better to tell you outright that it is a hard and relentless climb up to the crater. But the view is worth the torture when you finally get out of the forest. There is scenery that looks like it came out of "The Lord of the Rings" and you can see Bali and the Gili Islands in the distance! Once you reach the crater the only thing left to do is admire the sun setting above the clouds, It is less well known than Mount Bromo butMount Rinjani is just as beautiful and if you love beautiful scenery then you will adore seeing this during <a href="/indonesia/">a trip to Indonesia</a>.
