Prambanan is a Hindu temple built in the 9th century and is listed as a Unesco World Heritage site. It is the largest Indonesian complex dedicated to the divinity Shiva.

My suggestion

If you do not have a local guide, here is the simplest way to get to Prambanan by public transport: take the number 2B from Marlioboro bus stop all the way to Jombor terminal, from there a local bus goes as far as the temple.

Along with Borobudur temple, Prambanan is an essential thing to do while you are in Java.

My suggestion

As is the case for the other unavoidable temple of the region, I recommend that you get to the sanctuary a little before it opens. This way you will get the impression of having the whole place to yourself.

Prambanan is a complex of more than 2000 Shivaist temples dating from the 9th century and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

My suggestion

Remember to bring along water, a hat and sun screen: it gets very hot here right from the early hours of the day.

No to plastic

If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.

Bromo, the pearl of Java

Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment. If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!

Explore the Sunda islands: for nature lovers

Flores and the Sunda islands in general are much less touristic that certain other destinations in Indonesia. Go there to enjoy an authentic adventure in the Indonesian archipelago.

Bali surfing trip

A trip to Bali is a series of discoveries, spiritual, cultural, culinary and also of sports. Surfing is one of the attractive facets of the island. Bali with its varied beaches, of sand and of reefs, washed by warm turquoise waters, is a real surfing paradise. There are waves for all tastes and levels. So, hesitate no more and take the plunge!
