What are the most spectacular roads in Indonesia?
Indonesia is an archipelago country located between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, in the southern part of Asia. Due to its geography, the country offers countless spectacular roads winding through tropical rainforests, mountains, volcanoes, and coastal plains.
When traveling to the archipelago, with its extensive coastline stretching over 54,000 kilometers, you can’t miss driving the wild road to the blue fire of Kawah Ijen.
