Culture

With over 300 ethnic groups speaking 700 languages on more than 6,000 inhabited islands, the Indonesian archipelago is a showcase of cultural diversity.

Underneath its modern exterior, Indonesia remains a country of ancient legacies. Tremendous temple compounds remind visitors of empires that once stretched for thousands of miles. Intricate carvings revealing a civilization's hopes and preoccupations survive today, after thousands of years open to the elements. Beautiful architecture, buzzing markets, reflective holy sites-the country's history has bequeathed to its present a thousand reminders of the past.

In Indonesia, culture is not only something to see; it is also something to do.

Our itineraries range from learning how to Batik in Java through to celebrating the harvest season with the Dani tribe in Papua.
