East Java

East Java is a land of dramatic landscapes and fiery legends—home to two of Indonesia’s most extraordinary natural wonders: Mount Bromo and Ijen Crater. Here’s a fun fact many travelers don’t know: Ijen is the only volcanic crater on earth where you can witness the rare natural phenomenon of “blue fire” glowing in the darkness before sunrise. Combined with the sea of clouds over Bromo’s caldera, East Java offers some of the most surreal sunrise scenes anywhere in the world.
