Garuda Wisnu Kencana

The Garuda Wisnu Kencana park extends across 60 hectares of land, featuring gardens, performance venues, and a 121-meter statue at 105 meters elevation.

The park emerged from an abandoned limestone quarry in 1992 when sculptor I Nyoman Nuarta initiated the transformation into a cultural destination.

The central statue depicts Lord Vishnu mounted on Garuda, a mythological bird, representing the Hindu narrative of searching for Amrita, the elixir of life.

The park provides shuttle services, parking facilities, restaurants serving Balinese food, and shops selling traditional handicrafts throughout the premises.

The copper and brass statue weighs 4,000 tonnes and contains 22,000 square meters of metalwork, making it taller than the Statue of Liberty.
