Mount Bromo, Stratovolcano in East Java, Indonesia.
Mount Bromo rises 2,329 meters within the Tengger Caldera, featuring a crater that continuously releases white sulfurous smoke into the surrounding landscape.
The volcanic formation initiated 820,000 years ago, leading to multiple eruptions that shaped the current 16-kilometer diameter caldera through several geological phases.
The Tenggerese people perform the annual Yadnya Kasada ceremony at Mount Bromo, throwing offerings of food and flowers into the crater to honor their deities.
Visitors access the volcano through the town of Cemoro Lawang, with jeep tours operating regularly to transport people across the sea of volcanic sand.
The volcano contains a stairway of 241 steps leading to the rim, where observers can view the active crater amid a landscape of volcanic peaks.

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.
