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

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!

Lake Maninjau is a hidden secret still little known to travellers, a spectacular landscape where the real Indonesian character is to be found. On the path to the lake, you will see how the children greet you with a huge smile on their face and their little hands waving energetically. What is more, should you have a problem, the inhabitants will come to your rescue.
Located in a volcanic caldera, the lake offers a distinctive view, you will be able to see the shape of the crater clearly even though it is now covered in vegetation. What I liked most was seeing the architecture typical of the area with roofs that seem to be reaching for the sky.
The inhabitants who live around the lake survive thanks to fishing and to the fish-breeding farms that they make with bits of wood, which allows them to transport them to the sales outlets alive. A real show in Indonesia.
