A truly diverse nation, with over 17,000 islands, home to hundreds of ethnic groups speaking many different languages. Indonesia is known for beaches, volcanoes, Komodo dragons and vast jungles sheltering elephants, orangutans and tigers. On the island of Java lies Indonesia’s vibrant, sprawling capital, Jakarta, and the city of Yogyakarta, known for gamelan music and traditional puppetry. Bali, Lombok and The Gili islands are certainly more laid-back and some of the most popular tourist places to visit.
