I encountered the beautiful yet deadly "hell on earth" in Indonesia!

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.
