Indonesian is a must see destination to experience the land of Erupting Giants and Dormant Beauties. If you’ve always wanted to hike up a volcano, there is no better place to go than Indonesia. Because of the country’s location at the meeting point of three tectonic plates—the Australian, Eurasian and Pacific plates—, it’s home to numerous volcanoes.

It’s estimated that there are about 150 active ones on top of many more extinct ones. Active volcanoes include Tambora and Krakatoa, both infamous for their catastrophic 19th-century eruptions.

That shouldn’t scare you, though. Eruptions, although they do happen, are still quite rare. At most, you’ll see flumes of smoke and notice a sulphur smell. If anything, Indonesia’s volcanoes, both active and extinct, beg to be explored on foot. Luckily, there are countless superb hiking trails running up and down the flanks of many mountains. It’s no surprise that Indonesia is a dream destination for hikers and rock climbers.

Indonesia boasts more active volcanos than any other country on the globe. 127 burners stretch from Sumatra in the west of the archipelago to far-off Flores in the east. Sitting atop a busy crossroads of some of the world’s most powerful tectonic plates, this geologically young nation has earned its stripes on the deadly Pacific Ring of Fire.
