Indonesian Visa Requirements for Volcano Tourism in Java
July 22nd, 2010
It's hard to believe that anyone would want to leave Indonesia's gorgeous beaches if they didn't have to, much less to explore a landscape that strongly resembles Mordor in Lord of the Rings. And yet, according to the New York Times, "volcano tourism" is rapidly growing in popularity amongst visitors to Indonesia.
As the name suggests, volcano tourism involves hiking in and around Java's active volcanoes. Tourists may go for day trips, or they may stay in nearby villages, as the New York Times writers did on their journey.
What makes the volcanoes so appealing? The New York Times explains:

Indonesian Visa Requirements to Visit the Borobudur Temple
June 27th, 2010
This week's featured UNESCO World Heritage Site is located in Indonesia. The Borobudur Temple is an ancient Buddhist temple that dates back to the 8th or 9th century AD. This colossal structure was once abandoned to the surrounding jungle, perhaps because the local populace converted to Islam or perhaps due to a volcanic eruption.

In the 1970's, UNESCO sponsored a major renovation and restoration of the temple, and today Indonesian Buddhists worship there once more. Vesak, a major Buddhist holiday, is celebrated by visiting all three of the region's major Buddhist temples, walking from Mendut

Tourism is one of Indonesia's main industries-according to Wikipedia, it is the third-largest non-oil/gas-related industry in the country. An average of 5 million tourists come to Indonesia from other countries each year, attracted by the picture-perfect beaches, amazing scuba diving, lush rain forests and a rich, diverse culture.
Indonesia has 33,999 miles of coastline and approximately 17,000 islands. Many of the islands are uninhabited, and 57% of the country is covered in rain forest. Outdoor activities like hiking are popular, as are water sports like surfing. Diving is another common activity-the waters off the coast of Indonesia are home to 3,500 different species of marine life.
To travel to Indonesia, an Indonesian visa is required. You can apply on arrival at certain air

An Indonesian Visa For a Holiday in Bali
October 24th, 2009
If you're already tired of cold and windy autumn weather, the island of Bali in Indonesia might be your dream vacation.
Bali is surrounded by crystal clear waters and colorful coral reefs, so it's perfect for snorkeling or scuba diving. In the warm waters off the coast of Bali, you could encounter a variety of different sea animals, including dolphins, sea turtles, tropical fish, manta rays, sharks and more.
The interior of the island is a hotbed of biodiversity, as well, with 280 species of birds, monkeys, deer, bats, felines such as the leopard cat, enormous monitor lizards, snakes and more.
