Ujung Kulon National Park, National park in western Java, Indonesia
The national park encompasses 120,551 hectares of rainforests, mangroves, coral reefs, and grasslands at the southwestern end of Java island.
The 1883 Krakatoa volcanic eruption cleared the entire area, leading to natural regeneration and the establishment of protection measures in 1992.
Local communities maintain traditional practices in designated zones, working with park authorities to sustain natural resources within the protected boundaries.
Visitors require official guides to explore the park, with access through the town of Labuan by boat or designated hiking trails.
The park serves as the final refuge for Javan rhinoceros populations, with approximately 50 individuals remaining in their natural habitat.

The island of Java showcases an exceptional heritage blending spiritual traditions and natural wonders. The temples of Prambanan and Candi Mendut attest to the grandeur of 9th-century Hindu and Buddhist civilizations, while the Candi Sewu complex reveals sacred architecture organized according to mandala principles. Active volcanoes like Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen offer striking landscapes, from the smoking crater dominating the black sand plain to turquoise lakes where miners still extract sulfur. Javanese cities combine tradition and modernity: Jakarta features the National Monument on Merdeka Square, Bandung houses the Geology Museum founded in 1928, and Malang surprises with Kampung Biru, whose houses are entirely painted blue. The Seribu Islands extend this diversity into the Java Sea with their coral reefs, while floating markets like in Lembang maintain age-old trading practices. This array of sites invites exploration of Indonesia’s deep spirit, between spirituality, volcanic nature, and human ingenuity.
