JAVA VULCANO TRECKING
Ijen Crater
Indonesia's Kawah Ijen Volcano, on the island of Java, has two of the most unusual occurrences on Earth. The first is an active solfatara that emits hot, flammable sulphurous gases. The second occurrence is a one-kilometer-wide caldera lake filled with turquoise-blue water. About 300,000 years ago, volcanic activity in this area began building a large stratovolcano that is called "Old Ijen" today.
Mt. Bromo
Mount Bromo which stands tall at 2329 m is the most iconic and the most hiked mountain in Indonesia. The mountain beckons majestically despite having the entire top blown off and with a crater inside that keeps spewing off white sulphurous smoke.
Mount Bromo is still one of the most active volcanoes in the world and there are areas that are blocked off from tourists due to its imminent danger. It sits inside the massive Tengger caldera (volcanic crater with a diameter approximately 10km), surrounded by the Laut Pasir (sea of sand) of fine volcanic sand.
After an easy hike, travellers are awarded a breathtaking and ethereal landscape during the sunrise.
