Our adventure to Mt. Ijen began in the pitch dark of early morning. Equipped with flashlights and gas masks, we embarked on the hike with cautious excitement. Hiking in the dark brought its own challenges, with steep paths that demanded our full attention. We took it slowly, making frequent stops to catch our breath and recalibrate our pace. Each break became a moment to absorb the tranquility of the mountains, even though we couldn’t yet see the full beauty around us. Reaching the top was a huge relief—a silent celebration shared with our fellow hikers. After a short rest, we set out to explore, only to learn that the famous blue flames area was temporarily closed to visitors. A little disappointing, but we were still in awe of the incredible scenery that awaited us. As dawn broke, we moved to the crater rim, where we were allowed to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the sulfur lake. The air was crisp, carrying a unique purity that felt like it had been untouched by time. As sunlight crept over the landscape, the turquoise lake at the center of the crater sparkled, wreathed in soft clouds of smoke rising from the sulfur vents. Watching the first light reflect off the lake was nothing short of mesmerizing—a scene we knew would leave an everlasting mark in our memories. Is Mt. Ijen hike worth it? For me, it is definitely a yes. #sunrise #volcano #funhike #adventure #travelfreak

Mount Bromo. Waking up before dawn, travelling in pitch dark on a bumpy jeep ride not knowing where I'm heading too. Braving the cold waiting for the first rays of sunlight pierce through the misty valleys is definitely an unforgettable memory for nature enthusiasts and thrill seekers like me. The sunrise is not just beautiful; it was charming. The sky blooms in colours, and the sun spills over the clouds with a dash of gold. The view was not just awesome, it was fantastic. No video or picture can truly capture it. You must be here to experience it. #sunrise #volcano #funhike #adventure #travelfreak

Aek Rangat is a well-known hot spring located on Samosir Island in Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Situated on the western shore of Samosir Island, Aek Rangat offers beautiful views of Lake Toba and the surrounding landscape. The hot springs at Aek Rangat are naturally heated by geothermal activity. The mineral-rich waters are believed to have therapeutic properties and provide a relaxing experience. The larger bath house was not open during my visit. The guide brought me to a small restaurant next to it which had a tiny pool with hotspring water. Aek Rangat offers a natural and rustic experience so the facilities are basic. It would be good to bring your own supplies. 📍 JM9F+579, Siogung-Ogung, Pangururan, Samosir Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia Music: Another Time Musician: LiQWYD #solotravel #laketoba #samosir #volcano #island #hotspring #budgetfriendly #budgettravel #lake #solotravel #backpacking #lakeview #toba #tripblazers #indonesia #mytripvlog

During my visit to Samosir Island, I spent two nights in a traditional Batak house. Despite the lack of air conditioning, the nights were comfortably cool. I had expected many mosquitoes but was pleasantly surprised to find very few. Overall, it was a delightful stay. Ambiance/Facilities: The room offered basic amenities, without a TV or air conditioning. Highlights: The most striking feature was the magnificent view of Lake Toba right at my doorstep. I woke up early to catch the stunning sunrise, which was truly breathtaking. Value: The stay was budget-friendly, making it an excellent choice for travelers looking for an affordable option. Rating: 4/5 One drawback was the absence of a kettle in the room. Instead, the hotel provided a thermos of hot water, which was available for a charge of 15k per bottle. 📍 Jalan Lingkar Tuk-Tuk, Pulau Samosir, Kabupaten Samosir, Sumatera Utara 22395, Indonesia Music: The Last Unicorn Musician: Gvidon #solotravel #laketoba #samosir #volcano #crater #budgetfriendly #budgettravel #lake #solotravel #backpacking #lakeview #toba #batak #traditionalhouse #indonesia #mytripvlog #tripblazers

Lake Toba is a tranquil haven located in the northern part of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is one of the largest volcanic lakes in the world formed by a massive volcanic eruption approximately 74,000 years ago. It spans about 1,145 square kilometers and reaches depths of up to 505 meters. The lake's serene and picturesque setting is complemented by Samosir Island, which lies in the middle of Lake Toba. Samosir Island itself is almost as large as Singapore and is known for its traditional Batak culture, scenic landscapes, and charming villages. During my stay in Samosir Island, I had the chance to experience breathtaking sunrise on the lake right outside my hotel room by the lake.

Taking public transport from Medan to Lake Toba may not be the most comfortable and convenient way but it is definitely doable. I took a local bus from Amplas bus terminal in Medan to Parapat. It was a 4 hours ride from Medan to Parapat through winding and narrow roads especially towards the end of the ride. As my hotel was located along the main road, I asked the bus driver to drop me off at my hotel but unfortunately he dropped me at the wrong hotel so I had to walk around 2 km to my hotel. Luckily a kind local gave me a ride on his motorbike.

The Miradouro da Boca do Inferno, also known as the Boca do Inferno viewpoint, is a popular tourist spot on São Miguel Island in the Azores. This viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views of the Sete Cidades caldera, renowned for its twin lakes, Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde. Unlike some other viewpoints on the island, reaching Boca do Inferno requires a 20-minute hike. We parked our car at the Parque Estacionamento Lagoa do Canário and crossed the road to reach the trail entrance. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal during our visits, and we were unable to get a clear view of the lakes due to heavy mist on both days. Despite this, the hike itself was enjoyable. #travelanywhere #roadtrip #vacation #portugal #azores #viewpoint #PontaDelgada #SãoMiguel #Island #driving #crater #volcano #lake #setecidades #caldera #tripblazers #gohiking #hiking

Jardim Público da Courela is a public garden located in Furnas, a small town in the southeastern part of São Miguel Island in the Azores, Portugal. This park is known for its geothermal activity, featuring numerous fumaroles—openings in the earth's surface that emit steam and volcanic gases. These fumaroles are part of the larger Furnas Volcano, a significant dormant volcano with a summit subsidence caldera. The park offers visitors a unique experience of witnessing geothermal phenomena up close. One of the main attractions is the tradition of cooking meals in the hot geothermal soil, known as "Cozido das Furnas" (Furnas geo-cook). This method of cooking uses the natural heat from the fumaroles to slowly cook a variety of ingredients, resulting in a delicious and unique dish.

We visited a small park near the islet of Vila Franca, located in Vila Franca do Campo, a charming town in the southern part of São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. The islet, less than 1 km from the park, is uninhabited and primarily composed of basalt. It serves as a popular spot for recreational activities such as cliff diving and snorkeling during the summer. The islet features an almost perfectly circular bay with a diameter of 150 meters and is one of the nature reserves in the Azores. During our visit, the weather was cloudy and rainy. We were awed by the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean! 📌 Parque de Lazer Poço Largo 📍 Vila Franca do Campo, Portugal #grouptravel #roadtrip #vacation #portugal #azores #PontaDelgada #SãoMiguel #Island #driving #islet #volcano #park #vilafranca #atlantic #ocean #sea #tripblazers

Sete Cidades is an attraction that you will not miss if you visit São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. The Sete Cidades Caldera at the top of Sete Cidades Volcano is the largest freshwater lake in the Azores. Although hydrologically, the Sete Cidades Caldera is one large crater lake, most refer to it as two separate bodies: Lagoa Verde (Green Lake) and Lagoa Azul (Blue Lake). We stopped for a while at the bridge that separated the two lakes and marveled at the wonders of nature. The lakes appear to have different colors because they reflect the sunlight in different ways. 📌 Canal de las Siete Ciudades 📍v9-1 14, Sete Cidades, Portugal V647+3G Sete Cidades, Portugal #grouptravel #roadtrip #vacation #portugal #azores #PontaDelgada #SãoMiguel #Island #driving #crater #volcano #lake #setecidades #caldera #tripblazers

I spent and amazing 2 weeks in Guatemala. We landed in the capital Guatemala City and only stayed a night there. This is the only capital I’ve ever come across with no positive comments even from the locals. Next morning we took a 45 mins taxi ride to Antigua. A charming colonial town and one of the most beautiful communities in Latin America. Stayed a few nights and from there went to the so called most beautiful lake in the world Lake Antigua. There are many different towns in Lake Antigua and each one has their own unique style but one thing all they have in common is the surrounded by the beautiful lake Atitlan and volcanos. We first did the easier hike to volcano pacaya which took around 3 hours. Rested a few days and challenged another volcanos which is rated as top 10 volcanos in the world, and the no7 most difficult volcano hikes. Volcano Acatenango. Our private tour which cost around 500q (60usd) per person started at 10pm and we finished at 11am. It was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done but once you get to the summit and see that sunrise everything felt worth it. I highly recommend Guatemala. I’m currently on a one year vacation in Latin America and already been in this continent for 8 months. Guatemala is my 9th country in Latin America and it’s definitely one of my favourite after Argentina #guatemala #antigua #lakeatitlan #Volcano

We stopped by Parhallow Viewpoint and Coffee Shop for lunch during the tour around Samosir Island, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The viewpoint is about 7 km and 15 min drive from Tomok Ajibata Port. It is a scenic spot and coffee shop which offers breathtaking views of Lake Toba, one of the largest volcanic lakes in the world formed by a massive volcanic eruption approximately 74,000 years ago. The restaurant serves simple local delicacies and a variety of beverages, including locally sourced coffee and tea. There was a coffee plant right next to our table which my guide pointed out to me. 📍 JV8C+WWW, Tomok, Simanindo, Samosir Regency, North Sumatra 22395, Indonesia Music: Birthday Musician: LiQWYD #indonesiatrip #laketoba #samosir #volcano #island #viewpoint #budgetfriendly #budgettravel #lake #solotravel #backpacking #lakeview #toba #mytripvlog #tripblazers #indonesia #restaurant #cafe #coffee

I got the opportunity to visit two lakes within a lake during my tour around Samosir Island. The concept of "lakes within a lake" refers to smaller lakes situated on islands that are themselves located within a larger lake. This unique geographical feature is present in Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia, which contains two notable smaller lakes on Samosir Island: Lake Sidihoni and Lake Aek Natonang. Both lakes are surrounded by lush greenery and offer a tranquil and picturesque setting. The calm waters and natural surroundings provide a perfect spot for relaxation and photography.

Tuktuk Siadong is a small village is located in a small cape in Samosir Island. I arrived in Samosir Island at noon. After checking in to my hotel, I decided to explore Tuk-Tuk on foot since I had no other means of transport. The village was about 2 km from my hotel. There were many hotels in Tuk-Tuk. Some of the hotels facing Lake Toba had private beach and nice views of the lake. I bought some souvenirs at few of the souvenir shops in Tuk-Tuk. Many shops sell wooden sculptures of batak houses. Do get some keychains of batak houses for your loved ones when you are there! #indonesiatrip #laketoba #samosir #tuktuk #volcano #crater #medan #budgetfriendly #budgettravel #lake #solotravel #backpacking #lakeview #toba #tripblazers #indonesia #restaurant #batak #mytripvlog

There are a few ferry terminals in Parapat offering ferry services to different locations in Samosir Island. The hotel staff dropped me off at the newly built Pelabuhan Ajibata. The new ferry terminal seemed to offer higher-end ferry services to tourists and I was told that there was no ferry available that day. The staff I approached at the new ferry terminal directed me to a small port next to it. That's the port where locals take local ferries to and fro Samosir. And so I boarded the local ferry from Pelabuhan Ajibata to Tomok (Rp 12,000). The ferry runs regularly so there is no need to buy tickets in advance. The ferry conductor will collect ticket fees from the passengers one by one. The ferry looked quite old and rundown but no complaints since the fare was so cheap. There was no air-conditioning too. There were also vendors selling snacks on the ferry. I sat at the open deck to immerse myself in the beauty of Lake Toba and took lots of pictures! It's definitely an eye-opening experience for me. One should try to take the local ferry instead of the premium ferry for a truly local experience in Lake Toba regions!

I spent one night at Gapura Hotel in Parapat, a small town in North Sumatra on the edge of Lake Toba, before taking a ferry to Samosir Island the following day. My hotel room was facing the lake and the view of Lake Toba was priceless. The hotel is situated along the main road. The view of Lake Toba along the road was amazing! However the road conditions were bad. There was literally no space for pedestrians to walk. I felt quite unsafe walking on the road as I had to walk very close to the edge to avoid being run over by passing vehicles and constantly keep a look out for vehicles behind me. There were many stalls and small restaurants along the main road. Most of them offer a very nice view of Lake Toba and the prices were cheap.

During my stay in Parapat, I enjoyed dining at one the many restaurants situated along the main road. The restaurants are mostly stalls in wooden huts. Most of them offer a very nice view of Lake Toba and the prices were cheap.

Exploring #taal volcano in Makati, Philippines. Very excited to see this volcano ! It's the only volcano island in a lake, inside an island, inside a lake, inside an island in the world 🌍. Wasn't able to go to Volcano Island this time as it has recently erupted and caused bush fires this earlier month. No boats are allowed due to safety restrictions. But there are stunning views from the ridge above to the north, many restaurants and coffee shops with view platforms to sit and chill. #phillipines #taalvolcano #volcano #travel #roadtrip #holiday #manila #islands #travelphotography

I enjoyed every bit of this adventure - it was affordable, and the views were absolutely worth the hikes and early starts. Day 1: • Madakaripura Waterfall Stay: Bromo Terrace Hotel & Resto Eat: Bawangan Bromo Hotel & Resto Day 2: (started our day at 2.30am) • Sunrise point at King Kong Hill (only jeeps can access the roads there, and you get some cool pics as well) • Hike Mt. Bromo Stay: Urbanview B Syariah Lumajang Day 3: • Tumpaksewu Waterfall • Goa Tetes Cave Stay: ljen View Hotel & Resort Day 4: (started our day at 11.30pm the PREVIOUS day, slept at 6pm to make it to ljen before sunrise) • Hike Mt. Ijen - there's the option to hike down to see a naturally occuring blue fire, but there were too many people on that day, making the narrow path down quite dangerous. We opted to climb a little higher to catch the sunrise instead - it was so beautiful and serene with most of the crowd trying to catch the blue fire. #travel2024 #road_trip #bromo #indonesia #girltrip #asia #jetstar #singapore #volcano
