Ijen Resort and Villas is a materialization of a dream. A long time dream which stayed in mind during some decades.    The First Inspiration The story of Ijen Crater was heard for the first time from an old uncle who happened to be sent there joining forced workersīó by the japanese army in the second world war period. It was in his childhood time.  The Solitary Crater, it is so called because of its position, alone out of reach and out of nowhere. It sounded rather intriguing. The old uncle said that it took the whole day walk to cross through the dark jungle, to arrive in a vast open plain area where they had to spend the night before hiking up the mountain on the next day. And the crater was the only interest because it spit out large quantity of sulfur.  #beautifulsunsets#nationalpark#beautifulhotel

Touchdown in East Java for an epic adventure at Mount Ijen 🌋✨ The highlight? That surreal crater lake, where blue flames flicker at dawn and clouds of mist swirl over the emerald waters. Set your alarm early and get ready for one of Indonesia’s wildest sunrise hikes! Must-See: Mount Ijen Crater 📍Location: Banyuwangi Regency, East Java ⏰ Best time to start the hike: Midnight to 2AM (to reach the crater before sunrise—blue flames are most visible pre-dawn!) Entrance: Approx. IDR 100,000 for international visitors. Bring cash! My Top Tips: - The hike isn’t crazy difficult, but it’s steep and the trail gets chilly! Wear layers and pack a jacket, but shed them as the sun rises. - Gas masks are absolutely essential—rent one at the base! The sulfur clouds are no joke, especially inside the crater. - Start slow, pace yourself: Most hikers take 1.5–2 hours to reach the rim, then another 30 minutes down to the lake. Take plenty of breaks—watch for clouds clearing to catch those jaw-dropping views! - The lake is stunning but don’t get too close to the edge; the soil can be loose, and visibility changes fast with fog rolling in. Getting Around: - From Banyuwangi town, snag a Go-car or arrange a jeep transfer to the trailhead (30–45 min drive). - Local guides are super helpful and inexpensive—worth it for early-morning safety + stories. Food Rec: - Snack packs are clutch—bring bananas, nuts, and water! There’s a tiny warung by the parking lot for instant noodles and kopi after your hike. Key Notes: - Cash only for tickets, tips, and snacks. - Check weather before you go: Rain can make the trail slippery and obscure views. - No visa needed for most travelers under 30 days. #IjenBlueFlame #EastJavaAdventure #SulfurLake #EpicHiking #NatureVision
