Indonesia
Made up of thousands of different islands, and home to hundreds of different cultures, there’s plenty to discover on the vast archipelago of Indonesia, located in the Indian Ocean. The flora and fauna varies greatly from island to island and the landscapes are also diverse, with tropical rainforests and jungles, more than 400 volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, lush green rice terraces and tropical beaches.
While some parts of Indonesia have fallen prey to mainstream tourism, there are a number of eco-tourism initiatives in less-populated areas which aim to conserve the beautiful natural environment.
