LET'S GO TO ARCHIPELAGO
Indonesia is a land like no other. It is the largest island nation in the world, encompassing thousands of islands, each with its own unique culture. Naturally, a wealth of travel opportunities abounds.
Some 17.000 islands make up the Indonesian archipelago, a broken patchwork of rain forest and volcanoes, tropical beaches and near-forgotten names: Sulawesi, the spices islands. Populated by more than 207 million people, Indonesia is the world's fourth largest country and home to mankind's last remaining frontiers.

Populated by more than 207 million people, Indonesia is the world's fourth largest country and home to mankind's last remaining frontiers.

''Unity in Diversity'' is the national motto of Indonesia, as there are over 360 separate ethnic groups, all with their own traditions. Remarkably these very diverse groups of people pull together to make their nation strong and cohesive. Indonesians are very proud of their country and heritage.

Their country spans from the western most island of Sumatra, all the way to the eastern most province of Irian Jaya on the island of New Guinea. Many individuals do not realized that Indonesia actually comprises more area on the globe than the United States.

Beautiful girls dancing in colorful local dresses.These many islands straddle the equator and offer some of the most compelling landscapes available to a voyager. Lowland swamps, immense volcanoes and crater lakes, vibrant waterfalls, tropical rain forests, terraced rice paddies, as well as exotic flora and fauna all add to the natural beauty found there. The main islands include Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara (which includes famous Komodo), Sulawesi, Kalimantan, the Moluccas and Irian Jaya.

Water sports are always an option in Indonesia and include river rafting, scuba diving, surfing, kayaking, snorkeling and more. There are also exciting one-of-a-kind opportunities, such as witnessing Komodo Dragons-the world's largest lizard; or visiting a traditional Balinese spiritual healer. Remember, Indonesia's magic awaits your visit.
