    Volcano

    2 de octubre de 2025, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    The main active volcano on Bali is Mount Agung, a powerful and significant peak that last erupted in 2019 and influences the island's climate. Another active volcano, Mount Batur, is popular for sunrise treks but is much more tourist-friendly and has not erupted in decades. Indonesia has many other volcanoes, some of which can affect flights to Bali due to ash clouds, even if they aren't located on Bali itself.Leer más

    Boat ride to Trunyan Village

    2 de octubre de 2025, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    Today we'll drive to the Mount Batur area. We'll travel to the village of Trunyan, crossing Lake Batur by motorboat to get there. Trunyan is home to the Bali Aga ethnic group, known for their ancestral rituals and animist spiritual beliefs. Contrary to Balinese tradition, the people of Trunyan do not practice cremation, but display their dead in open graves, concealed by bamboo lattices and remarkably preserved by the roots of the fragrant taru menyan tree. We'll take a walking tour around BBB the village and its environs, enjoying striking views of the Kintamani Volcano and Lake Batur. While in the village, we'll meet with a local religious leader to learn more about the village's animist beliefs. Then, we take a short boat ride to a local cemetery to see Trunyan's unique graves.

    We'll return by boat to the Mount Batur area later this morning.    Leer más

    "Happy Yoga" Instructor.

    3 de octubre de 2025, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    Today we'll visit the nearby village of Batuan. Here, we'll meet a spiritual practitioner and a "happy yoga" instructor. Every day, she produces tirta holy water, an essential element in Balinese spiritual rituals. In the afternoon, she teaches "happy yoga" for senior women in her village. Her unique style combines easy-to-follow, basic yoga poses; the stretching movement of Balinese dance; and communal laughter. We'll learn about the process of making tirta during a Q&A session. Afterwards, join her and her female relatives in making canang, the simplest form of daily offering, which is made of woven palm-leaf and an assortment of local flowers.Leer más

    Ubud, Bali's artistic heart

    3 de octubre de 2025, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    A Hindu enclave that stands alone in the middle of the rest of the largely Muslim Indonesia, Bali has fostered a deeply spiritual culture with arts, customs, and social rules unlike any place on Earth. In fact, Balinese Hinduism is a unique mélange of different cultural influences, including traditional Hinduism, brought to the island by a Javanese princess and priests in the 16th century; Buddhism, the island's state religion in the seventh century; and indigenous animist and ancestor-deifying religions. Throughout our time here, we'll see how spirituality factors into nearly every aspect of Balinese life.Leer más

    Local Blacksmith

    4 de octubre de 2025, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F

    Today, we'll drive through the picturesque rural villages along the southern slopes of Mount Agung. Our first stop on our journey is to the home of a Balinese blacksmith. We'll take a tour of the blacksmith's workshop and learn about the metalworks he produces, such as keris, or ceremonial daggers. We'll enjoy a Q&A session with the blacksmith about the craftsmanship that goes into the blades he makes, and why they are an important part of Balinese rituals. As we'll learn, the tradition of keris making is now a dying art on the island of Bali, making our visit to this blacksmith's workshop all the more special.Leer más

During our visit to the family-run orchard, we'll see how this fruit is harvested and visit the on-site workshop to find out how the family turns raw salak into tasty treats. You'll even have a chance to try salak candies and crackers.Leer más

    Drive to Kusamba, a coastal village known for its black sand beach. Here, we'll visit the home of a married couple who work as salt miners. We'll spend some time with the pair learning about the salt mining process, why they got into this line of work, and what they like to do during their free time. If the day is sunny, you may be able to see salt miners hard at work transforming seawater into high quality salt.

    Then, we'll drive to the Taman Baginda Temple. A Hindu priest will conduct a purification ceremony using water from the temple’s holy spring.

    Uluwatu Cliffside Temple

    6 de octubre de 2025, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F

    We drive southwest to Pura Luhur Uluwatu, or the Temple above the Headstone. With origins that date back to the tenth century, it's one of the most striking examples of a Balinese sea temple, perched on a cliff 330 feet above the water. Two types of creatures greet visitors here: statues of the elephant-headed Hindu god, Ganesha, and a resident colony of mischievous macaque monkeys. We have time to explore the ancient structure and take in the dramatic seascapes along its promenade before departing back to our hotel.Leer más
