Indonesia – an island country

Indonesia is the largest island country in the world. It lies on the equator, between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The year is divided into two seasons - wet and dry, but regardless of when we plan our vacation, there will be an island that does not have a rainy season. The capital of the Republic of Indonesia is Jakarta, located on Java.

A country of many cultures

Finding the remains Homo erectus, i.e. the so-called Javanese man, led archaeologists to recognize the Indonesian archipelago as having been inhabited for 2 million years. Indonesia's favorable location meant that in the XNUMXst century AD it became an important point in the network of port countries trading with each other, as well as with China and India. Thanks to good conditions, rice was also cultivated here, and its plantations are still among the largest in the world. Influences from Chinese and Indian culture can still be found on many islands.

The arrival of the Persians to this region brought a new religion - Islam, which at the end of the 16th century became the dominant religion in Java and Sumatra. The following years were a period of many changes in Indonesia - the effects of the arrival of the first Europeans, the Japanese occupation and domestic revolutions can still be observed today. The rich history of this country explains the presence of hundreds of ethnic and linguistic groups. Motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, that is, “unity in diversity” unites them all. Thanks to this amazing marriage of cultures and religions, Indonesia is one of the most frequently chosen destinations for luxury holidays.

Amazing nature

Despite human activity, equatorial forests cover as much as 60% of the area of ​​the Indonesian islands. The incredible diversity of flora and fauna species found here will surely delight nature lovers. To get to know it better, you can go on various types of tailor-made trips - from parks and nature reserves, through the mountains, to relaxation on beautiful beaches.
