Strewn across the coral-rich waters of Southeast Asia, Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands.
Diverse cultures and religions
Unified by a common currency and a basic trade language, the Indonesian people are a mixture of many different cultures and religions whose costumes and customs vary between islands and even between valleys.
From the Stone Age tribes hidden in Sulawesi’s remote forests to the devout Hindus making their daily sacrifices at Bali’s countless temples and shrines, life here proceeds at a different pace among lush, verdant landscapes of great beauty.
From Bali to Mount Bromo
The country’s attractions are endless. Fringed by wonderful beaches, Bali also has a fascinating interior, sloping up through terraced rice-fields to the sheer slopes of its central volcano.
Lombok and Sumba are less visited, with natural untouched beauty and beaches creating perfect tropical hideaways.
Java’s regional cities are bright with dance and music, while the towering peak of Mount Bromo smoulders over an otherworldly, volcanic landscape.
Fauna and flora
Sumatra’s jungles offer refuge to the endangered orang-utan. Kalimantan in southern Borneo is for the true adventurer, with all manner of flora and fauna are here just waiting to be discovered.
