Yizhen (Yizhen) Crater Lake is like a lake-green canvas The color of sulfur is rendered on the canvas as the wind blows Standing at the crater and watching the thick fog rising slowly, it seemed like time had stood still. 💞Recommended reasons: This is my first time to go to Uijin Volcano We took the train from Malang to Banyuwangi town the day before yesterday. Because the next route is all the way east to Bali. So we have separate itineraries for Mount Bromo and Mount Yizhen. There are many Uijin volcanoes as soon as you come out of Banyuwangi Station #Daytour It takes seven hours by train from Malang to Banyuwangi In addition to resting in the car, I also search for various information It is recommended that you go online to find information about various travel agencies. My own part is to also ask local friends and hotel staff - In fact, Yizhen Volcano has a very special natural landscape - blue flames But this can only be seen before dawn Due to the recent active volcanic eruption, the entire park is closed to visitors at night. The gate is not open to tourists until four o'clock in the morning. In order to catch the blue flames before sunrise The journey is very fast, originally expected to take 1.5-2 hours We arrived at the crater in about an hour It’s a pity that it’s still too late🫣 But the crater is still very spectacular, and the Tiffany Green Crater Lake is amazing. Uizhen Crater Lake has the most acidic liquid in the world with a pH value of 0.5 The temperature is about 200-300 degrees Celsius, very high However, Yizhen Volcano also abides by the laws of nature. The more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is. We had to wear gas masks to pass through the thick sulfur gas area There are still many local miners working here Every morning, I carry tools from the bottom of the mountain and go up the mountain to mine. Then carry the thick pieces of sulfur down the mountain I have sincere respect for these miners. Life is really not easy There are also many locals pushing carts along the way Tourists who don’t have the energy to go up or down the mountain and are big enough can take the ride for a fee. The fee range is quite wide, from 50,000 to 150,000. It is recommended that you ask more. #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #INDONESIA #BLUE FLAME #BALI

#naturalwonders #100WaysOfTravel The hike to reach the top and then down to the crater is not for everyone, it’s really steep and the way down to the crater can be dangerous. Unfortunately they let anyone do the hike, more than half of the people in the hike were not fit enough to attempt the hike making descending in the crater dangerous for themselves and other. Regulations might be needed. A part from that Ijen was a beautiful, an incredible experience!

Here is a nanny-level guide to the itinerary of the Indonesian Ijen Volcano: 🌋Itinerary 1️⃣0:00 Depart from the hotel🏨, the journey is far, please go to bed early the night before💤. 2️⃣2:00 Arrive at the foot of the mountain🌋, receive the gas mask😷 and goggles🥽 distributed by the guide, organize your backpack🎒, and go lightly. (On the way up the mountain, you can choose to ride the local human-powered cart "Lamborghini" at any time, the one-way price is about 500💰, of course, the closer to the end, the cheaper.) 3️⃣Around 4:30 to reach the top, the time varies from person to person. 🌋Check-in points 1️⃣Tree rights: Walk inside the mountain top⛰️ to see tree branches of different sizes, those who are queuing are basically excellent 📷positions 2️⃣Small platform: The small platform under the tree rights, this place is very photogenic, you can take pictures of the volcano🌋 and sulfuric acid lake 3️⃣Right side of the summit: Here you can see the sea of clouds☁️ and the mountain top⛰️ 💼Recommended items to bring: Gas mask😷, goggles👓, wet wipes🧻, tissues, Snickers, drinking water ❗️ If you want to go down to the volcanic lake to see the blue fire, it is best to choose a protective mask with eye mask, because sulfur is very irritating to the eyes.

Ijen Resort and Villas is a materialization of a dream. A long time dream which stayed in mind during some decades.    The First Inspiration The story of Ijen Crater was heard for the first time from an old uncle who happened to be sent there joining forced workersīó by the japanese army in the second world war period. It was in his childhood time.  The Solitary Crater, it is so called because of its position, alone out of reach and out of nowhere. It sounded rather intriguing. The old uncle said that it took the whole day walk to cross through the dark jungle, to arrive in a vast open plain area where they had to spend the night before hiking up the mountain on the next day. And the crater was the only interest because it spit out large quantity of sulfur.  #beautifulsunsets#nationalpark#beautifulhotel

I finally got the chance to visit this active volcano and believe it or not it’s one of the WORLD’s MUST-SEE VOLCANOES because apparently this Ijen Volcano Crater has the world’s largest acidic volcanic crater lake which, the water is actually in UNIQUE turquoise color! Imagine how cool is that! THIS TIME, We are here for the sole purpose of visiting this crater because this turquoise colored-lake within the crater is quite famous for it’s color and the local miners normally call it the Kawah Ijen. This crater is located right on top of the Mount Ijen where you have to hike 3km from the bottom starting all the way up taking the one way narrow and steep trail to reach the top. For a novice like me i would say this is quite challenging to walk and climb in the dark with a torchlight that provides barely enough visibility to see what’s coming your way in a few meters. While hiking and climbing up you can see a lot of old sulfur miners ( some barefooted ) marathon-ing using the same trail carrying a basket each as if racing with each other to reach the top to dig minerals, sulfurs or whatsoever they have to dig to sell it for money, leaving us behind staggering and struggling to make each step forward in reaching the same point of mountain. This is too exhausting but worth the effort when you can start smelling something like the rotting eggs and food as you climb higher because it means that you’re about to reach your destination, the GREEN LAKE! #urbanexplorer #travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#naturalwonders

Ijen crater is located in Banyuwangi - Indonesia, Ijen crater is famous for the volcano crater and also the blue fire. I would recommend you to start climbing at 1am to see the beautiful blue fire. Truly #unforgettableexperiences #wintergetaway #travelinspiration #instagramworthydestinations #vacation #naturalwonders #wintergetaway

Here is Kawah #ijen, where you can see Blue flame near by a one kilometers wide turquoise colored lake. This trip start at 1 am as you need to climb up to the 2,799 meters height before #sunrise. If you cannot go up there on time you will not see the blue flame. For me, it’s quite hard to walk up to the mountain because of its slope (also, I’m not really work out person). But don’t worry, there is a service taxi (as in my picture no. 3) all the way up and down if you prefer more comfortable way than walking. However, I have to warn you that it’s not just going up, you have to going down in the carter (no taxi available) around 700 meters under rocks road. Believe me, it’s worth. #merrychristmas

A thrilling adventure "We started climbing Mount Ijen at 1 am, and it was a tough and thrilling journey. It was pitch black all around, and only the headlamp lit the way ahead. The road was full of gravel, and you could easily slip if you weren't careful. When we finally reached the top, the pungent smell of sulfur hit us, and everyone put on gas masks. To see the legendary blue flame, we scrambled to the bottom of the crater. At the bottom, when the mysterious blue flame appeared before our eyes, we were truly amazed by the wonders of nature. However, due to the weather, there was more smoke than fire, and we were caught in a cloud of thick smoke. The gas masks were useless, and we were terrified at that moment, but it was also unforgettable. Mount Ijen is a volcano that you love and fear at the same time. If you like adventure, don't miss it."

| Ijen Volcano. ❗️Absolutely worth it❗️ The blue flames are the most unique feature of Ijen Volcano, but the green sulfuric acid lake, rolling sulfur mist, and workers transporting sulfur are also part of the unique landscape of Ijen. If Bromo Volcano is desolate and spectacular, then Ijen is more like a post-apocalyptic world. I think Ijen is the most photogenic place on this trip. The reason I didn't see the blue flames is kind of funny. We arrived at the entrance of Ijen at 1:30 am. After getting our goggles and gas masks, we waited for a long time for no reason. Where did the guides go? To buy tickets? No one knew. Later, we heard that there were too many tickets to be issued, so many guides were waiting in line at the ticket office. At 3:45 am, we finally started climbing. The path up the mountain was a steep dirt slope in the dark. After turning a corner, we saw other tourists' headlamps flashing higher up. The air was very humid and windless, making us sweat and fogging up our glasses. After walking for about an hour, I reached the open area on the ridge at 4:45 am. The sky was already bright, so there was no chance of seeing the blue flames, but I still followed the crowd to the sulfuric acid lake, which was glowing green in the dim morning light. 🗻The path down the crater was very steep, and after a short section of guardrail, it was just a wild path. We could see many people gathering where the sulfur smoke was rising. Some people who arrived early saw the blue flames. I was curious about how they got there so fast. Here are some tips for exploring Ijen Volcano, based on my personal experience: If possible, bring a good gas mask and goggles. The protective gear provided by the park is better than nothing, but when taking photos in the sulfur smoke, you will inevitably be enveloped in thick smoke. Even if you hold your breath, the smoke will seep in through all the gaps, causing a strong sense of suffocation. Take photos with the sulfur smoke as the background, but don't go too far into the smoke. The heat is scorching, and the ground may not be solid. Some people have fallen in before. Also, pay attention to the wind direction. When enveloped in sulfur smoke, you will feel suffocated and disoriented (you can't see anything and your brain shuts down), so retreat in time. Wear a pair of well-fitting hiking shoes. Don't wear slippers, sneakers, or thick-soled shoes to Ijen. You will need to walk a lot of steep dirt and rocky paths to reach the sulfuric acid lake and the top of the mountain. A pair of outdoor shoes will protect you better. Wear a headlamp to free your hands and take better photos. Ijen is still a wild attraction, and many photogenic spots don't have guardrails. Be careful when taking photos and stay safe. A safe return home is the best footnote to a perfect trip.

Ijen volcano🌋 purgatory on earth It is also a breathtakingly beautiful existence It exists miraculously on the high mountains The distance up and down the mountain is 4 to 5 km. The slope of the volcano is relatively steep and it took 1.5 hours to go up the mountain. I went down the mountain and spent 200k to experience "Lamborghini"🚗 I heard about rickshaw pullers and sulfur carriers. The average life expectancy is only 40 years old, which is really sad. There is no blue fire now🔥The recommended departure time is 5 or 6 in the morning There is really no need to set off early in the morning. There are very few people when we go to the top of the mountain in the morning. You can take photos as you like without queuing up hahaha The only regret is that I didn’t go to the lake😭 This is a place you come to once in a lifetime. Leave your regrets here.

I finally realized my unforgettable volcano trekking in Indonesia! The brave ones eat volcanic ash first. The world's strongest natural sulfuric acid lake, I accept this poisonous beauty! Kawah Ijen is an active volcano with an altitude of about 2,769 meters. It is famous for its volcanic crater lake and the blue flame, also known as "blue fire". There are only two places in the world where you can see the blue flame, one is Iceland, and the other is Kawah Ijen in Indonesia. The light blue volcanic lake is the largest strong acid volcanic lake in the world. The beauty of Ijen is real, and the danger is real. There are basically no guardrails and it depends on hands and feet. And it starts in the dark, steep gravel road, everyone must be careful when going. ⚠Precautions √How to get to Kawah Ijen? You can stay in Banyuwangi, which is a small county. It is recommended to stay in a hotel here, and then charter a car to join a group to the scenic spot. You can ask about chartering a car at the hotel front desk. √What time to go to Kawah Ijen? Because Kawah Ijen is not open during the day, the trekking journey usually starts at 2 am and queues up to buy tickets at the entrance of the scenic spot. You need to get up at 12 am to take a car to the scenic spot (about 1 hour, and now you need to go to the hospital to get a health certificate before you can go up the mountain). √How long does it take to walk to the top of Kawah Ijen? The overall road conditions for trekking are gravel and mud roads, which are very slippery! You can walk to the top of the mountain in 1.5 hours without rest. If you really can't walk, there are local rickshaws. The locals call it "Lambo", which means rickshaw. We call it Lamborghini! Because the cost is quite expensive, a single trip costs 500 RMB, you can bargain! √What do you need to bring to Kawah Ijen? You must bring a gas mask~ The sulfur on the top of the mountain is very pungent, you can buy a gas mask in advance~ You also need to wear a jacket, it is quite cold at midnight.

Ijen Volcano 🌋 has the world's most acidic lake. After a 2-hour drive, a 4-hour hike in the rain and mud, and another hour on a rocky path, we were almost the last to leave 😇.

Wonderful walk to catch the sunrise at the top of Mount Ijen, Java island, Indonesia. I recommend this visit to everyone passionate about breathtaking landscapes. The hike is doable for people who are not well trained. Get some nice hiking shoes as the path is quite slippery because of the dust. #indonesia #java #bali #historicallandmarks #indonesianfood
