Do Ijen and Bromo crater worth to visit?

During my trip to Ijen and Bromo Crater, I had the pleasure of meeting new friends from Germany, Salvador, and Singapore. Together, we embarked on an unforgettable adventure. We tried some delicious local food, including *nasi goreng* (fried rice), *sate ayam* (chicken satay), and *bakso* (meatball soup), which gave us a taste of Indonesia's vibrant culinary scene. The experience was made even more exciting by the stunning views, though we weren't fully prepared for the cold temperatures at the crater. It was a bit rainy, and we realized we should have worn warmer clothes. Local shops along the way offer warm clothing for rent, but I'd recommend getting lighter coats because, as you start hiking, you'll warm up quickly. The weather can be unpredictable, so layering is key. The view from the top of Ijen was absolutely breathtaking, with the blue fire and the sulfur mining process adding to the dramatic landscape. It’s definitely one of those moments you’ll never forget. For those considering this trip, it’s worth noting that traveling from Bali is more convenient and quicker than from Surabaya. We spent about 7 hours driving to our location, so it’s something to plan for if you want to maximize your time at the craters. All in all, it was an incredible experience with new friendships, beautiful landscapes, and a few lessons learned along the way. Highly recommended!
