Discover the breathtaking beauty of Ijen Crater, one of Indonesia’s most spectacular natural wonders. Located in Banyuwangi and Bondowoso Regencies, East Java, this destination is famous for its dramatic volcanic landscape and its rare Blue Fire phenomenon seen only here and in Iceland.
At the summit, you will find a massive turquoise lake, about 700 meters wide and 200 meters deep, holding 36 million cubic meters of highly acidic water. The surreal scenery, combined with the crisp mountain air and surrounding pine forests, makes this one of the most unforgettable experiences in Indonesia.
