Land of Waterfall, Ciletuh Geopark It’s another hidden gem of Indonesia located in Sukabumi, West Java, about five hours drive from Jakarta. Recognized by UNESCO in 2015 as a National Geopark, it covers an area of 128,000 hectares over 8 subdistricts and 74 villages. Ciletuh Pelaburah Ratu was awarded as a Geopark not only because of its geological component but also because of its culture and scenery. One thing unique about Ciletuh Geopark was its combination of lush green mountainous landscape, surrounded by paddy field and located along the Southern coastal of Indian Ocean.

Pool Party

ACHB

Hey alle, nach einer längeren Pause melde ich mich mal wieder!! Sascha und ich sind nun seit ca. 10 Tagen in Indonesien in dem kleinen Dorf Cimaja an der Südküste von Java! Im Prinzip sind wir "nur" in Indonesien, um hier zu surfen, werden also vielleicht sogar bis Ende des Monats hier in dem Dorf sein... aber alles der Reihe nach! Nach Kho Tao waren wir auf Kho Phangan in der Ecke der Insel, wo die Party abgeht. Sascha und ich wurden noch verstärkt um einen Kumpel von Sascha aus Bangladesch, einen Franzosen, den wir in Bangkok getroffen hatten und ein lokales Thai Mädel. Somit hatten wir eine echt gute Gruppe zusammen und hatten die Tage vor der Full Moon Party schon sehr großen Spaß. Es gab eigentlich jeden Abend eine große PArty irgendwo auf der ... read more
