Travel guide

Indonesia is a huge tropical archipelago scattered across both sides of the Equator between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. One of the world's most ecologically diverse countries, it comprises over 17,000 islands, many of them lush and rainforested, fringed by beaches and dotted with active volcanoes. Thousands are entirely uninhabited save for abundant wildlife, while some 6,000 are home to hundreds of ethnic groups with their own languages, foods and cultures, including the world's largest city, Jakarta, and the tourist hotspot of Bali. Indonesia's extraordinary natural and cultural diversity, and the warmth and friendliness of its people, draw millions of travellers to visit each year.
