Kawah Ijen: A Unique Natural Wonder
Located on the border of Banyuwangi and Bondowoso regencies, Ijen Crater is a truly unique international tourist destination. It offers a captivating sunrise and the amazing “blue fire”, a natural phenomenon that can only be seen at night. The Ijen Crater is one of only two places in the world where you can witness this blue fire; the other is in Iceland.
Both routes converge at a place called Paltuding, which is the starting point for the trek to the crater.
