Departure to Licin Village, then we will move aboard a 4x4 car along the slope of Mount Ijen and through stretches of plantations and rainforest. This one is one of the few that have remained on the island with large ferns and huge trees.
Stop at the Park Renger before continuing the trek to climb to the crater. It will take about two hours to reach the top, along a shady path with breath-taking views. We will stop at about 2383 meters above sea level, where the lake of sulphuric acid reflects its particular colour on the surrounding rocks. It gives an apocalyptic impression to the atmosphere.
