Bromo Volcano - Epic of heaven and earth.

Amidst the sea of ​​clouds, the majestic Tengger range appears like a vivid picture - where people become small before the vastness, fierceness and wonder of nature.

Sun Hunting Journey on Bromo Peak

To reach Bromo - Indonesia's most famous active volcano, visitors must depart at dawn, sitting on off-road jeeps crossing the vast sand desert in the Sea of ​​Sand area in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. When the clock is just over 4am, the temperature drops below 100 degrees Celsius, the fog is white, but each line of cars still follows each other to climb to Penanjakan Viewpoint - the place known as the most beautiful sunrise viewing spot in Bromo.

Off-road jeeps will take you across the vast sand desert of the Sea of ​​Sand area in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park.

And then, as the first light broke, the entire giant valley slowly woke up. Before our eyes was a breathtaking scene: Bromo - with its smoking crater, Batok - the dark brown cone-shaped mountain next to it, and in the distance Semeru, the tallest volcano on Java Island, still steadily belching white smoke into the sky. The clouds drifting across the crater created a scene that was both magical and overwhelming, leaving anyone speechless with emotion.

As the sun rises, the entire Bromo region glows a honey-gold hue. At the foot of the mountain, indigenous Tenggerese horse riders weave through the grasslands, taking visitors closer to the crater.

Going to Bromo is not difficult because there is not much trekking.

Standing on the mouth of Bromo Crater, looking down into the deep basin, listening to the howling wind and the pungent smell of sulfur, we seem to witness the primal power of the earth - both terrifying and sacred.

Wake up at 2am to receive the perfect results.

Tumpak Sewu - where the water falls like a strip of silk from the sky

Leaving the Tengger Plateau, the journey continues to take visitors to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, located in Lumajang District, about 70km south of Bromo. If Bromo is a symbol of fire, then Tumpak Sewu is a symphony of water.

If Bromo is the symbol of fire, then Tumpak Sewu is the symphony of water.

Nestled in the middle of the tropical jungle, Tumpak Sewu in Javanese means "thousand waterfalls", appearing like a giant curtain of water, where hundreds of streams fall from a height of nearly 120 meters, blending into the mist to create a majestic and poetic scene. From above, the waterfall looks like the long hair of mother earth, flowing down in the middle of the deep green mountains and forests.

To reach the foot of the waterfall, visitors must walk along slippery trails, climb steep slopes, and cling to ropes to cross streams. But the reward is worth it: the cold water spraying on the face, the resounding rumble, the shimmering rainbow appearing in the mist - all blending into a magical scene. At the foot of Tumpak Sewu, humans seem to disappear into the vastness, leaving only a feeling of purity and utter insignificance.
