Naturvölker, Totenkult & Baden: Privatrundreise "Südsulawesi & Toraja" & Baden auf Bali

About the destination: Jakarta, located on the northwest of the island of Java, is the capital of Indonesia and largest city in Southeast Asia. Jakarta is a huge city and one of the busiest and energetic metropolis in the world and it has lots to offer, from historic and cultural sites, high-end shopping malls to traditional markets, one of the best restaurant scene of the region and a vibrant nightlife. Kota Tua Jakarta is also known as the Old Jakarta or Old Batavia. Kota Tua is where the Dutch immigrants settled and established their seat of government. Buildings showcasing Dutch architecture still stand around the Fatahillah square, most of which function as museums. Kota Tua Jakarta is located north of the city center of Jakarta. Walking is the best way to go around the historical sites. Cafe Batavia, which dates back to 1805, is a famous restaurant with Baroque decor overlooking Fatahillah Square. Off-shore north from Jakarta's beach there are small islands called Kepulauan Seribu, the Thousand islands. They are part of the North Jakarta city government and a perfect spot to get away from city life. The variety of shopping, exciting nightlife, historical sites and wide selection of dining experiences make Jakarta a truly exciting and different experience.

About the destination: The southern part of Bali, although generally chaotic and too touristy, has the best beaches on the island and several interesting sightseeing tours, so if you travel to this destination, I recommend you spend at least three full days there. If Bali is too crowded, the area of ​​Kuta and surroundings takes the palm: it was there where the first travelers came in search of surf and they also found a paradise to export. But in spite of the noise and that the Balinese culture is not as present as in other areas, Kuta and surroundings can also be enjoyed. Legian street is nice, ideal to buy souvenirs or a dress haggling with the locals; The beach is very suitable for surfing and the best to see it, as it is full of surfers at all hours !; And the sunset is an event that you can not miss. The locals flock to the beach in packs, many of whom want to take photos with you, play football or simply bathe; And spontaneous bars are set up with fresh beers and boxes as local bar. There are beautiful sunsets that are harmless. Of course, the life of local people is shorter than in other parts of the island, or at least not so integrated, so forget to find a nice market or a temple in every corner.
