Gunung Sewu Geopark

The geopark spreads across 1500 square kilometers of tropical karst landscape with limestone formations, underground rivers, and coastal features along the Indian Ocean.

Research initiatives starting in 1992 led to the formal recognition of Gunung Sewu as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2015, marking its geological importance.

The geopark connects three provinces through shared geological heritage, supporting 805,000 residents who maintain agricultural traditions in the karst environment.

Visitors can explore numerous caves, hiking trails, and geological formations while learning about the area through educational centers and guided tours.

The limestone terrain contains a network of underground rivers and springs that provide water resources to communities across three different Indonesian regencies.
