At 1 am, our professional guide (Hary, Pour, or 1 of the 5 guides from Indotravelteam) will lead you to the top of the crater Kawah Ijen volcano. 1h30 of ascent, one hour of those is quite intense. Then you will descend to the crater of the volcano, discover the nature's miracle - blue flames, and the sunrise under the biggest acid lake in the world, unforgettable moment… With a respirator that protects you from sulfuric vapors, you are at the heart of the crater which is a unique sensation! So, you are in the crater which is also a "Sulfur mine" where the workers are exploiting the sulfur. You will witness the enormous courage of those men (miners and bearers) who live by the extraction of this sulfur (used for pharmacology and cosmetology). After this magic moment we are back to the base camp, then, after about 20 minutes of a road, we will enjoy a local breakfast in a Javanese family.
