IJEN CRATER TOUR

IJEN CRATER TOUR

Ijen Crater is the biggest crater in Java. Ijen Crater Area Tourism Park or Nature Reserve is located in the District of Ijen slippery, and the District Klobang Banyuwangi, Bondowoso. Around 04.00 am, we pick you at the hotel. Due to erratic weather, it is better to always carry a raincoat when climbing. Our journey will take about 2 hours to drive a jeep (4x4 WD). Because the road is very broke. So land-rover or jeep which has four wheel driving is the best vehicle to use across this condition.

Along the way, we will pass some of the plantations, among others: coffee, cloves, pine and rubber. And occasionally wild animals will appear in front of you, such as: monkeys, deer, butterflies, birds, and others. After a few minutes drive, we arrived at the parking area Paltuding. Here we will start climbing as far as 3 km. In Bromo mount there is a horse that we can lease rent if we are tired of walking. But here, just by walk we reached the top of Ijen mount. While we climb, we will find an amazing moment. It is sulfur miners. They take sulfur from the bottom of the crater. Here the smoke is thick, but with equipment such as gloves masks to the degree necessary, they are still looking for the molten sulfur. Molten sulfur derived from the piping leading to the source of the volcanic gases that contain sulfur. The burden is quite heavy between 80 to 100 kg. The miners are used to carry heavy load, they walked along the path on the caldera cliffs down the mountain.

After a few minutes, we arrived at the peak of Ijen mount. Here, you can see beautiful and amazing scenery. Crater lake of bluish green with sulfur smoke haze and a very charming. This crater has a very high level of acidity is close to zero so that the human body can dissolve quickly. In addition, cold air will add to the sensation. A variety of plants that exist only in the highlands can also be found, such as Edelweiss Flower and Pine Mountain. We can also enjoy the beautiful sunrise here. Don’t forget to take the picture to complete your memories. After you are satisfied to take pictures and enjoy the scenery, we come back down to Paltuding (parking area). It’s about at 12.00 am, we go back to the hotel.
