Mount Bromo
Mount Bromo (Gunung Bromo) is not just a volcano; it is one of Indonesia's most iconic and spectacular natural attractions. It's an active somma volcano and part of the massive Tengger caldera in East Java. While it stands at only 2,329 meters (7,641 feet), which is not particularly tall by Indonesian standards, its breathtaking beauty and cultural significance make it a world-renowned destination.
The name "Bromo" is derived from the Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. This name highlights its deep spiritual importance.
