Once there, the approximately 2-hour ascent on foot to the crater of the Ijen Plateau begins.

After the ascent, it goes about 700 meters steeply down into the crater of Mt. Ijen.
Once there, you will have the opportunity to experience something unique in the world, witnessing the blue fire of the sulphur flows in the absolute darkness of the night (depending on the water level of the crater lake).
The subsequent strenuous ascent to the crater rim is rewarded.
Once at the summit, you will experience a fantastic, magical view over the greenish blue lake of the Ijen Crater at sunrise, the most poisonous lake in the world.
On the way, they will meet the numerous workers who mine the sulphur and transport it into the valley in their baskets weighing up to 100 kilograms.

Before heading back to your hotel, you will fortify yourself with a cup of fresh coffee, fruits and local snacks in a typical Javanese waroeng at the entrance to the national park.
