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.

Sidemen is a district in the east of Bali, known for its magnificent scenery and flat ricefields.

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.

Medan is definitely the third biggest city of Indonesia, but it's not very rich culturally speaking. As in Jakarta, which can be depressing at first, it's full of intense traffic, pollution, chaos and noise. However, you won't find many tourists. I stayed in Medan for two days and visited the Great Mosque, the most beautiful in Indonesia, which is a fairly imposing modern building worth the trip. To get in there I had to put a scarf over my hair and shoulders. Think about covering yourself up to below the knee too: this is valid throughout Indonesia but especially in religious buildings. In Medan you can find some buildings from the colonial era. I walked there for some hours but the old quarter doesn't have anything exceptional. For me, this city is rather an access point to reach Lake Toba, the biggest lake in Sumatra, or even Bukit-Lawang.
