Indonesia Explorer Fam Trip (May 8-18, 2017)

Description

Experience the best of Indonesia on this 11 day/ 8 night familiarization trip by Pacific Holidays. In Indonesia, the natural beauty is as diverse as the people who live among it. Spend one night in the chaotic, crowded, and cosmopolitan, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and a city of contrasts. It is a dynamic city of daunting extremes with surreal juxtapositions on every street corner. It has the country’s top museums, the greatest diversity of restaurants, and awe-inspiring public spaces. Then you will fly to your next destination, Solo City. Arguably the epicenter of Javanese identity and tradition, Solo is one of the least Westernized cities on the island. With its ancient Hindu temples that look like hand-drizzled sand castles, Jogjakarta is like the famous older brother of Solo. Central to the island’s artistic and intellectual heritage, Jogjakarta is where the Javanese language is at its purest, its arts at their brightest, and its traditions at their most visible. Here you will spend two nights before flying to your final destination of Bali. Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along the coral ridges. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class. Ubud is the heart of Bali, a place where the spirit and culture of the island are most accessible. Yes, Bali has beaches, surfing, diving, and resorts great and small, but it’s the essence of Bali – and the Balinese – that makes it so much more than just a fun-in-the-sun retreat. The inhabitants of this small island are indeed a generous, genuinely warm people. Land and air from Los Angeles for $1,999 per agent and $2,199 per companion.
