Τα 20 καλύτερα φυσικά μνημεία Ινδονησία

Mount Bromo is an active volcano and a Hindu pilgrimage site. The volcano lies within the Sandsea caldera, which formed several thousand years ago. The last major eruption, classified as category 3 (out of a maximum VIE 8), occurred in 2010/2011. Moderate and explosive eruptions (VIE 1-2) occur regularly, most recently in December 2023. During volcanic activity, access to the popular volcano is closed. Visits are usually made from Cemorolawang, a village situated on the rim of the Sandsea caldera. Visitors travel by jeep, on horseback, or on foot down the caldera and across the flat Tengger Sand Sea to the base of Mount Bromo. From there, a path leads uphill, or visitors can ride horses to the bottom of the concrete staircase that ascends to the crater rim. Hundreds of people make the journey to the crater rim daily. Caution and consideration are therefore advised on the narrow path at the top. (Visited on April 16, 2006 and May 12, 2018) https://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=263310&vtab=Eruptions

It's about 1km from the parking lot to the crater rim, with the last section up a flight of stairs. There's a great view into the crater, with Semeru Volcano in the background. Those sensitive to sulfur may want to wear a mask – it smells of sulfur! You can also ride a horse with a guide to the stairs and back.

If you want to see the Blue Fire and the sunrise, you should set off early. The gates open at 2:00 a.m., and you can begin the climb up Ijen. It's about 4 km to the top and 600 meters in elevation. The path is wide and well-maintained, with some steep climbs. You'll definitely need a headlamp. Then you can descend into the crater to see the natural phenomenon known as the Blue Fire, which is caused by the combustion of sulfur gases. The path is rocky and requires some surefootedness—but I found it manageable in sneakers. The fire wasn't big when I was there, but it was still fascinating! You definitely need a mask, as it smells strongly of sulfur down there! Masks and headlamps are available for rent. Afterward, you climb back up and can watch the sunrise. You need a bit of luck, as fog often rises from the crater, and you can't see much. Truly beautiful, BUT it's a mass event! Many of those who climb up, and especially those who descend into the crater, don't have the fitness for it, and especially not the surefootedness. So, you have to set off right away at two o'clock! People are also crowding around the blue fire.

waterfall very wet

21-02-3025 with guide entrance Benang kelambu / 'small' waterfall 10,000Rp. Doing the whole tour with a guide is recommended in my opinion. From Haikiki bungalows for 3 people 600K and the tour is adjusted along the way in consultation regarding the route to be chosen from the many options through the rice fields. And as a bonus: guides are in contact with each other to report where the black monkeys are foraging at that moment. It would be a shame if you were to miss it if you went on your own. You get slippers on the spot at the waterfall, because the tour goes through the water in the gorge to the waterfall. Rainy season so sometimes wading through water for at least 1m, where in the eddy the guide points out where the really deep point is and how to avoid it. Condition requirement: still able to climb a bit. You can swim in the waterfall and if your clothes are wet you can get behind it, beautiful waterfall curtain... to jump through. Possibly a plastic bag to protect your mobile phone. Bring some extra money to buy local organic products at the coffee break: vanilla etc. Bersenang!
