Travel to Indonesia: Indonesia Travel Guide
Indonesia’s 17,000 (yes, seventeen thousand) islands are scattered across the Pacific, covering an area comparable to that of California to Bermuda. From its western boundary of Sumatra to Papua (Irian Jaya) on its easternmost edge, you’ll encounter what is arguably the most culturally diverse nation on earth. An equally diverse landscape hosts rainforests, sculpted rice fields, ancient monuments, exotic wildlife, and idyllic sandy beaches.Over 300 distinct cultures make up Indonesia’s panoply of peoples. From forest-dwelling Dani tribes barely emerged from the Stone Age, to the refined grace of the Hindu Balinese and Buddhist Javanese, the marvelous array of people in Indonesia has fascinated artists, anthropologists and travelers for centuries.
Accommodations range from simple, charming lodges to elaborate, luxurious resorts featuring traditional carvings, gardens and extravagantly appointed rooms. A nice hotel does not necessarily a great vacation make, but in Indonesia in particular many properties incorporate classical traditional elements, such that they are an integral component of a true cultural immersion.
