Departure is from Bali: 1:00 PM from Seminyak and 2:00 PM from “Canggu - Mengwi - Ubud” (Indomaret Mengwitani) (pick-up point for people coming from Canggu, Mengwi, and Ubud). You will then cross lush landscapes to reach East Java. In the early evening, you will enjoy a local dinner and get some rest in your room before the night ascent.
Early in the night, you head towards the summit of the volcano, located at 2,370 metres above sea level. You descend into the crater to admire a rare, fascinating, and unique natural spectacle: the blue flames. You will also witness the impressive work of the sulphur porters, in an extraordinary mineral setting.
At dawn, you will watch the sunrise over the largest acid lake in the world, whose turquoise colours gradually appear. This powerful moment will stay etched in your memory.
