After a few relaxing days in Yogya and exploring the one of
a kind temples in the surrounding area we headed to the world’s most amazing
volcano’s – Mount Bromo. We jumped on
another 12 hour bus ride and headed towards East Java in order to make the
sunrise hike to marvel at this other-worldly sight. After a 3:30am wakeup call
we headed up to Gunung Penanjakan view point for Sunrise where you can see 3 volcanoes,
including Bromo revealing themselves in the morning light. Afterwards we took a
short jeep ride to the base of Bromo itself and make the 1hr hike up to the
crater
Mount Bromo is an active volcano and part of the Tengger
massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the
highest peak but one of the most famous in all of Indonesia. It was even shut down to tourists and locals
forced to evacuate in the area in 2010 and January 2012 due to increased
activity

Standing on the edge of the cliff looking down to your left
at the ash covered surrounding area and to your right at the deep drop into the
sulfur and lava filled crater you would actually swear you were on the moon. We spent about an hour admiring this amazing
feat of Mother Nature before making the hike back down the dusty trail to the
bottom where we hopped back on a minibus headed back west. 24hr drive for 5
hours on a volcano – Amazing.
