What to expect:

The Bromo crater is a steaming, sulfurous pit with sheer walls that you can reach by climbing a steep staircase. From the rim, you can peer directly into its depths while surrounded by sweeping views of the Sea of Sand. An unforgettable feeling. You hear the earth bubbling, see the smoke rising, and smell the sulfur. It was just crazy to stand there!!

How to get here:

Make sure you stay in Cemorolawang. We stayed in Parama Hotel which was super location-wise.

For hiking into the caldera and to the crater, you can take a free, hidden/secret entrance here: 7°55'18.6"S 112°57'48.9"E (behind hotel Cemara Indah).

Just go there and hike down and through the caldera, it's steep in the beginning but not difficult. You can't really miss the bromo from there.

When you have made it to the jeep parking lot, turn left and walk another 20mins and now you are now only 245 steps away from the crater.

Walking: 1.5h

Entrance: -

Tips:

• You can also go with jeep, motorbike or horse. But than you have to pay the entrance-fee (255k IDR) plus your guide.

• Go after 10am to skip the crowds (because most of the people are there with jeep tours and left after 10am)
