OVERVIEW

The equator runs through the charismatic island nation of Indonesia, which can be found in the tropical waters of Southeast Asia.

A great adventure awaits anyone who wants to visit Indonesia. The third most populous nation in the world has incredible cultural and geographical wealth just waiting to be explored.

Tourists will find pristine white sand beaches lined with palm trees backed by dramatic volcanic mountains, terraced mountain slopes and tropical rainforest. A kaleidoscope of wildlife awaits you underwater: giant sunfish, manta rays, porpoises, turtles and colorful corals.

Bali is a postcard paradise and tempts with breathtaking scenery, meek people in sarongs and legendary sunsets. The “living dinosaurs” of the island Komodo will impress the visitor just as much as the architectural splendor of the temple complexes of Borobudur with their 5 km long Buddhist reliefs. Those looking for adventure will find what they are looking for in the remote jungle of Kalimantan or on Sumatra, where there are countless species of animals and native tribes.
