<\/span>Bali, the amazing paradise<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nBali is one of the most obvious places to visit in Indonesia. First of all, you must spend some time at Tanah Lot, the most famous temple on the island. The temple is right next to the sea and houses the gods of the ocean. The views are spectacular, especially at sunrise and sunset. If the romanticism of this temple captures you, travel to Uluwatu, another place that is a must visit in Indonesia. This temple is perched on a cliff and has a wonderful pit where fire dances are performed. There are also monkey reservations nearby where you can get up close and personal with the animals there. <\/span><\/p>\nTo see more of Bali\u00b4s unique culture, take a trip to the Ubud rice terraces.

<\/span>Kawah Putih, Java<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nThis is a large crater lake and volcanic site, one of the most striking to visit in Indonesia.
