A land of unparalleled natural and cultural facets, Indonesia emits an ever captivating scent of robust intrigue and sweet discovery. Its islands are carpeted with lush expanses of tropical greenery abreast low lying swamps covered in mangroves. Its dense forests house every species from tiny tarsiers to mammoth flowers; cheeky monkeys to carnivorous plants; rare Sumatran rhino to the infamous orangutan. Its location in the heart of the Pacific Ring of Fire has built the prolific array of bubbling volcanoes and steamy haze that line Indonesia’s horizon.

 

With such a breathtaking concoction of natural stimulants, Indonesia’s local pseudonym, Tanah Air, or literally Earth and Water, proves quite fitting. The world’s largest archipelago, Indonesia consists of almost 18,000 islands, the largest islands being Java, Bali, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Lombok and Papua. Each island boasts its own unique allure; from the elaborate funeral ceremonies of Sulawesi’s Toraja to the nonchalant surfing culture of Lombok; the volcanic lakes of Sumatra’s Danua Toba to the mummies of Papua’s Baliem Valley. These are tantalizing treasures of one of the world’s last un-tampered paradises…these are the treasures of Indonesia.
