Tumpak sewu waterfall
Tumpak Sewu, also known as Coban Sewu, is a waterfall in East Java, Indonesia, located between the Pronojiwo District in the Lumajang Regency and the Ampelgading District in the Malang Regency. Semeru, Java's highest mountain and an active volcano, obscures the waterfall. The waterfall's primary water source is the Glidik River, which flows down Semeru. Tumpak Sewu roughly translates to "a thousand waterfalls" in Javanese. The name most likely refers to the appearance of multiple waterfalls in a single, semicircular area.
Mount Bromo
Bromo is an active volcano in East Java, Indonesia, located in the Tengger Mountains. It is not the highest summit in the massif, standing at 2,329 meters (7,641 feet), but it is the most well-known. The area is one of East Java’s most famous tourist sites, and the volcano is part of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. "Bromo" is a Javanese pronunciation of "Brahma," the Hindu god of creation. Mount Bromo is located in the “Sea of Sand” environmental reserve. Mount Bromo has erupted several times, the most recent in 2010.
Mount Ijen
The Ijen volcano, located west of Gunung Merapi, has a turquoise-colored acidic crater lake one kilometer (0.62 miles) wide. The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried from the crater floor by hand. The work is well compensated in comparison to the cost of living in the area, but it is physically demanding. Workers earn about US$13 per day and must transport sulfur chunks three kilometers to the nearby Paluding Valley to be compensated.
Sukamade
Sukamade beach is roughly 97 kilometers southwest of Banyuwangi. It is a beautiful, tranquil, natural setting that is part of the 50,000-hectare Meru Betiri National Park. Turtles lay eggs on Sukamade beach nearly every night of the year. Because the site is obviously of global importance, the overworked park rangers protect it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The rangers take some eggs to protect them from human and animal predators. The eggs are incubated in the park's hatchery before being released into the sea from the same beach where they were laid. There are other beaches within the park's boundaries that are comparable, but the turtles appear to prefer Sukamade.
