Lying stretched along the Equator, steamy and volcanic Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago, home to over 230 million people. Lately, this beautiful place has had a string of bad luck, including tsunamis, fires, and political instability. It would be a mistake to write off this massive area, however, because you'd miss so much. Lush green rice terraces line mountainsides, jungle animals roam freely, and pristine beaches and lakes abound. Behind the headlines, this mosaic of cultures remains a land of stunning beauty, friendly people, and one of the best values in Asia.

Java: The heart of the nation
The heart of the nation, Java is a complex island of great antiquity: this, after all, is where ancient Java Man stood upright and walked abroad. As such the island, home today to 140 million people and the most populated island on earth, is defined primarily by people.
Human ingenuity has left the island sprinkled with ancient treasures, such as the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan. It has also shaped a culture that resonates in modern life, as expressed through the artistic traditions of Yogyakarta and Solo, and contributes to the modern dynamism of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. Java's megacities may be crowded and gridlocked but they have a restless energy that is magnetic.
People have shaped the natural landscape too, giving it an urban texture that runs in slithers through the pea-green paddy fields. Add in nature's splendours – smoking volcanoes, rainforest and polished white beaches – and Java becomes irresistible.
What makes this place a wonderful place to visit.
Java has many exhilarating natural and cultural attractions that are yet to be discovered. Explore many exciting destinations from Ujung Kulon to Baluran National Park, from Jakarta to Surabaya.
