Welcome to the cradle of Indonesian culture, Yogyakarta. A tourist destination for its ancient palaces, temples, batik workshops, gamelan music orchestras, court dances and wayang puppet shows. Upon your arrival in Yogyakarta a representative of Come2Indonesia will be waiting for you with a sign indicating your name. You will start the tour right away, and head northeast towards Prambanan, the temple of the Hinduists and classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1991. From the airport, the journey to the temple is about 2-2,5 hours. The building of this temple was finished around the year 856 to commemorate the victory of the descendant of Sanjaya dynasty, Rikai Pikatan, against the last Shailendra sovereign of Central Java. Take your time to enjoy each carving on the rocks and feel the spirituality that each of the stones perched in this set of more than 200 Hindu temples that are dedicated to Shiva, one of the Trimurti which is an expression of God as the Creator, the Preserver and the Destroyer.

Leaving the city, an hour and a half away, you will visit the infamous Borobudur Temple The great Stupa, the largest Buddhist monument in the world and one of the seven wonders. You will walk around the temple area, observe the hundreds and centenary statues of Buddha and witness how dozens of Buddhists come to preach from all over the world. Historically it was established during the relatively brief Syailendra dynasty of Central Java between 778 and 856 BC and is in constant restoration due to the breaks that the tremors of the neighbouring Merapi volcano has been producing during its history.
