Rice Fields @ Watukarung

Welcome to the incredible shiny natural green Island of Java, Indonesia. It’s fair to say that rice holds a central place in Indonesian culture and shapes the country’s landscape🌴 ☀️

Just 5 minutes of the coast line in Watukarung, you’ll find beautiful lush green sawahs (rice fields) surrounded by jungle, that are definitively worth a footprint on your FindPenguin’s travel map 🗺
