The day has finally come to visit one of the most attractive volcanoes in Indonesia! One of the last open pit sulfur mines that survive on the planet. Once you pick you up at your hotel, you will head towards the village of Licin to reach the slope of the volcano to begin the steep climb to the crater of the volcano. During this trek, your guide will give you double filter masks to protect you from the natural chemicals of sulfur.
At an altitude of 2883 meters and when dawn begins, an incredible contrast of colors will open before your eyes. A yellow earth scene and a large turquoise blue lake inside the crater that contrast with a suspended white cloud that is continuously expelling the volcano. In turn, among so much beauty you will see the local miners do what is said to be one of the toughest jobs in the world. These miners go down to the crater of the volcano to load 80 to 100 kilos of sulfur on their shoulders and then sell it. After this amazing experience on the edge of Ijen volcano crater, you will begin the descent with an incredible panoramic view of the mountains that make up the national park.
You will be taken you to your hotel to cool off and have breakfast and you will start the journey to Bali for about 5 hours at least, depending on where you stay in Bali.

It is a journey of only 30 minutes, but remember to adjust your watch by an hour due to the time zone change. Welcome to the island of the Gods. End of service.
