| Not exactly the most accessible of all craters, this Ijen Crater may become of great interest to the adventurous tourist. It is located far enough from Bali as well as from Surabaya, whereas an overnight stay is recommended either at Banyuwangi if coming from Bali or at Bondowoso if coming from Surabaya. The trip to the crater should start early in the morning the next day because road accessibility only gets you up to 14 km from the crater which you have to walk uphill for that matter. Special about this crater is its wide gaping mouth having a diameter of 1 km, whereas its depth all the way to the bottom is 17 meters, where a turquoise lake is found with its impressive surroundings. |
