Indonesia
The name Indonesia has its roots in two Greek
words: "Indos" meaning Indian and "Nesos" which
means islands. It is an appropriate description
of the archipelago as there are estimated to be
a total of 17,508 islands, of which only about
6,000 are inhabited. Indonesia stretches for
5,150 km between the Australian and Asian
continental mainland, dividing the Pacific and
Indian Oceans at the Equator.
The islands and people of Indonesia constitute
the fourth most populated nation in the world.
As a democratic republic, Indonesia is divided
into 27 provinces and special territories and
classified geographically into four groups.
A rich history of kingdoms, conquests,
colonialism, trade and natural disasters has
bequeathed this island nation with an
exhilarating kaleidoscope of cultures and
traditions, people, languages and religions,
aspirations and problems, and the dramatic
scenery of changing landscapes. It is the
combination of the friendly people, the natural
attractions, the great variety of things to see
and do, and the year-round pleasant climate that
make this such a desirable vacation destination.
And then there is Bali's special "magic", which
is difficult to explain.
Bali
This famous tropical paradise of magic and
beautiful people captures the true essence of
Indonesia and offers a unique blend of modern
tourist facilities and adrenaline inducing
activities.
Lombok Island
The quiet island of Lombok east of Bali is the
perfect getaway with its lush mountains and
picture postcard tropical beaches. It has the
third largest volcano in Indonesia, the 3726
meters high Mount Rinjani and its crater lake
called Segara Anak
Sumba Island
Known as the Sandalwood Island, Sumba is famous
for its horses and traditional handicrafts such
as the ikat woven textiles.
Flores Island (flower)
A long island between Sumbawa and Timor strewn
with a chain of volcanoes which divides it into
several regions with distinctive languages and
traditions. This dynamic diving environment
contains nearly every species of coral and
tropical fish.
West Timor
West Timor is known for its striking scenery
that varies from dry rock expanses to rolling
cattle-land as well as its diversity of
isolated cultures which is also reflected in its
architecture.
