Stood at the edge of an active 🌋 crater

🌋 Mount Bromo is one of the most famous and stunning attractions in Indonesia. It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. What’s so unique about it is the fact that it is a volcano inside another volcano.

In the beginning there was only Mount Semeru (the highest peak of Java Island), and it erupted multiple times creating a giant caldera with small mountains inside, and one of them is Mount Bromo which is still active today. The group of mountains is now called Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park and has attracted tourists from all over the world! 🏔️

🕰️ The best time to go
Most people start their journey at 2AM to reach the top by sunrise.

🥾 Hiking up to the crater cone
The area leading to the base of Mount Bromo is off limits for any vehicles except by horse or foot. I'd suggest the former because it is not that short of a distance, and the horse ride was pretty exciting, you'll feel like an adventurer in a foreign land. The view was absolutely stunning, you get to see the great expanse of the Semeru caldera

🏇 After the horse ride, you have to hike up 250 stairs to reach the crater cone. The hike was a bit strenuous, but it was worth it when you finally reached the top. The view from the top of the crater cone was breathtaking, with a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding landscape & You can see the active volcano with its steaming fumaroles, which added to the surreal atmosphere of the place.

Overall, it was truly an unforgettable experience.
