Organized trips and tours in Indonesia
Islands and volcanoes
Where the splendor of the Indo-Buddhist empires has blended with Islam, and the wildest nature of a volcanic land with the influences of industrialized West. In Indonesia, you encounter the island of Java: from Jakarta to Bali the colors of a powerful nature, the architectural splendors of Hindu and Buddhist, the sultans' palaces, the plantations of coffee, tea, cocoa, cloves, vanilla, pepper, chili, banana, and tobacco. Smoky volcanic landscapes that plunge into crystal-clear waters.
What You Will See
You will discover Buddhist temples, villages, and tropical vegetation. You will cross volcanic sands and reach the crater of a volcano while admiring breathtaking landscapes. You will meet local artisans of cigars and batik, and walk among tea plantations. You will visit one of the seven wonders of the world, the Borobudur temple.
