Emerald of the Equator
Indonesia
The “Emerald of the Equator” (Indonesia’s nickname) reflects the country's lush, green tropical rainforests and its location along the equator. Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for its high seismic and volcanic activity, Indonesia offers everything what a travelers heart desires: lush green tropical forests, fascinating wildlife, roaring waterfalls, lonely islands, white sandy beaches with crystal clear water, colorful coral reefs for diving and snorkeling, stunning sunsets, mountains and volcanos to climb, amazing food, a rich culture and tradition, kind people and vibrant cities.
In this blog I am sharing my experiences and travel tips as a female solo traveler discovering this beautiful country, hopefully inspiring your next trip to Indonesia.
Are you visiting Yogyakarta and would like to wander off the beaten tourist tracks? Then I got something for you! But let me warn you: You should not be scared of heights and you will get dirty. However, if you are brave enough for some serious abseiling, you will have one of the most magical experiences spelunking in Goa Jomblang and Goa Grubug.
