Travel & Explore Mount Anak Krakatoa


Krakatoa, Lampung 


Indonesia has the volcano is still active, with the terrible eruption history. The mountain is Mount Anak Krakatoa in Lampung.

The mountain is located on the island of Krakatoa, a volcanic island that is still active in the waters of the Sunda Strait. Krakatoa was famous since the eruption on 26-27 since August 1883. The eruption was so powerful; pyroclastic and tsunami killed approximately 36,000 people.

Until now, the descent of Krakatoa is still active, which makes it such an adventure tourism destination. Usually, tourists will rent a boat to see the beauty of Krakatoa from afar, or you can also explore the island of Krakatoa up to the peak.

To travel and explore the summit of Krakatoa descent seems easy, because the track is smooth, vertical only. However, the terrain you take is entirely sandy roads, making travel more difficult to reach the top.

You would be better not reach the top of Krakatoa in the middle of the day, as the heat is unbearable. Visitors are also asked not to be too close to the crater, for fear they secrete toxic substances.
