It’s the only one Tea Plantation that still exists since 1875 in East Java. It’s about 1.144 hectares and located in 950-1200 m above sea level. The weather is also quite chill because it’s under the slope of Mount Arjuna.

DAY 3: IJEN BLUE FLAME TOUR – HOTEL IN BROMO AREA
On the third day of the trip, we will be starting about midnight to visit the most beautiful volcano in East Java.

The trek will take 2 hours away, it’s steep and rocky area. So, please use the proper shoes and follow our guide’s guidance.
