Borneo, the island of orangutans
If we want to see more animals, we have to explore Borneo, the island of orangutans, where undiscovered environments are still preserved and where these particular beings live, and which will make children fall in love. We will explore the rivers between the jungle on board a simple boat in which we will stay for the night in the park, and sleep under a blanket of stars, listening to the infinity of disturbing sounds that will remind us how far away civilization is.
In the sea, everything does not end ... we still have to explore the volcanic landscapes from the island of Java, incredible places to venture as authentic adventurers to see volcanic lakes of bright yellow colors, which expel fumaroles that look like the very doors of hell ... Again, scenarios to imagine and live the most fantastic adventures .
Before returning home, after such exciting adventures, we deserve a break and a few days of beach, and for that there is no better place in Indonesia than the Gili Islands. Some islands so small that they do not have a car or motorcycles, and that we can travel in less than an hour along the beach.
In Gili the days go by quietly, the fishermen take out their nets and the children invent games with the branches that look out over the waters. They will be days of games with the children of the islands, to swim and dive among thousands of colored fish, big turtles * and even to discover the baby turtles that take care of the smallest of the islands of the archipelago: the Island of Gili Meno.
Definitely, Indonesia It is the destination for an authentic dream trip. The best holidays for our children ... and for us.
