Seven Wonders in Indonesia

Indonesia is rich with natural charm. We should be grateful to have a country rich in culture, the island, the earth, cool places, and many more. Indonesia also has places that are so amazing sights overseas. Below I describe seven amazing places on our beloved Mother Earth.

1. Borobudur Temple
Borobudur Temple is one of the largest Buddhist temple in the world. This temple was built when Samaratungga - king of the dynasty ruling dynasty in Central Java. This temple is considered one of the seven wonders of the world. Borobudur temple is located in the village of Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java. Borobudur Temple is very large and consists of blocks of large stones with a very majestic architecture. Therefore I place the Borobudur temple in the first row because of the difficulty of manufacture.
 2. Komodo Island
Komodo Island is situated in a strait between the island of Flores in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Sumbawa in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Komodo Island there is the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragons (Varanus komodoensis). Komodo is believed to be remaining dinosaur ancient animal that is still alive. long Komodo dragon can reach 3 meters with a weight can reach 140 kg. In the waters of the Komodo also have waters that include the magic underwater world. Sea bottom waters of Komodo is the best in the world, at sea level menyembulnya dry lands are hilly coral. Very worthy of islands included in the list of wonders of Komodo in Indonesia. 

3. Kelimutu Lake [Danau Kalimutu]
The lake is the world known as one of the nine wonders of the world. The lake is located in three colors Kelimutu, Flores, NTT. There were three adjacent lakes but with different colors. Crater Lake is Tiwu AtaPolo (red lake), Tiwu Nua Muri Kooh Fai (green lake) and Ata Tiwu Mbupu (blue lake). Lake Flores is the only lake in the world in which the water can change at any time, from red to dark green and maroon, dark green to light green, blackish brown to blue sky. This natural phenomenon is a miracle.

4. Jayawijaya Peak [Puncak Jayawijaya]
The peak is also listed as one of the top seven continents (Seven Summit), which is phenomenal and the target of mountaineers around the world. Jayawijaya Peak National Park is located in Laurentz, Papua. The peak was covered by eternal snow. Eternal snow on the Peak Jayawijaya is one of three fields of snow in the tropics which are in the world.
In our country it traversed the equator, Indonesia witnessed snow on certainly something that is impossible to be understood. Carstenz Pyramid (4884 masl) is one of those snowy peaks. The highest peak in Southeast Asia and the Pacific is located in the Sudirman Mountains series. Peak is famous not only because of the high, but also because there is a layer of snow on the peak.
 

5. Krakatoa [Krakatau]
The eruption of Mount Krakatoa never shake the earth. This volcano has erupted on August 26, 1883. Explosion is very powerful and also cause a tsunami that killed about 36,000 people.
Krakatau eruption voice to be heard in Alice Springs, Australia and the island of Rodrigues near Africa. Mount Krakatau in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. Even the dust is said to get to outer space. Although Krakatoa was not as dangerous as it used to be (hopefully) but its history is one of the natural wonders of its own.

6. Toba Lake [Danau Toba] Perhaps many do not know that Lake Toba was once a volcano. The lake is located in the former crater of the world's largest Supervolcano. Mount Toba eruption is estimated at 73 thousand years ago. The eruption was recorded as the largest volcano eruption that affects climate worldwide.


7. Tana Toraja
Located in South Sulawesi, Tanah Toraja is very unique, especially in terms of burial. The corpses are not buried, but placed in caves in the rock. The bodies are accompanied by statues that depict the people who died. Here there are graves in the rock. One form of grave is the grave stone that is made at the top of the cliff at the height of the rock. According Aluk To Dolo animistic beliefs among people of Tana Toraja, the higher the place they laid the sooner his spirit met with God or heaven.
