Overview:
Like exotic beads strung across
the equator,
Indonesia is an enchanting archipelago of gentle
breezes carrying scents of spices and flowers, and clear blue
seas lapping pristine beaches. Beneath the waves, divers are
entranced by the ocean's riches, and inland, dramatic volcanic
ranges tower above a green mantle of terraced hillsides and lush
rainforest.
Bali
is the picture-postcard paradise: stunning scenery, gentle
sarong-clad people and sunsets of legendary glory. On peaceful
Lombok, life moves at a slower pace, while bustling Jakarta
exhibits Indonesia's cosmopolitan, modern face.
Komodo Island's ‘living dinosaurs' and the entrancing ‘sea
gardens' of Suwalesi invite exploration, as do
Borobudur's
architectural treasures, which include 5km (3 miles) of Buddhist
relief carvings. Adventure-seekers head for Kalimantan's remote
jungle interior or explore Sumatra, with its teeming wildlife
and wealth of tribal groups.
