Explore the Ijen Volcano complex. Deep turquoise by day, the lake at the crater is illuminated with electric blue flames by night - caused by ignited sulphuric acids. Take a ride in a 4X4 vehicle through the rural villages, coffee and clove plantations and then into one of Java’s last rainforests. The hike to Ijen Crater is along a shady track through beautiful scenery. Arrive at the peak of 2380 meters above sea level to see the lake's eerie color and smoke wafting from bright yellow sulfur deposits. Admire a landscape that looks desolate and barren yet vibrantly alive. Watch as the miners do their daily descend into the crater, re-emerging with up to 80 kilos of ore carried in bamboo baskets along the treacherous path. After admiring the sunrise, hike back down the mountain. The path is a mix of dirt and rocky ground. It can be slippery, especially during rainy seasons. The trail is mostly uphill and can be steep in places, making it somewhat strenuous, with an elevation gain of about 500 meters.
