More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Before dawn the jeep engine hums across an alien plain and the horizon ignites—this is Bromo by sunrise: wind pushing fine ash and sand across a shallow sea, cliffs threaded with the silhouettes of hikers and horses. On the second morning the landscape changes again: a sulfur-smoke rim, a turquoise crater lake and the surreal blue fire that seems to burn with its own mood.
