It is 42,000 hectare square. In former times the region was covered in mixed monsoon forest, but recently extensive teak plantations have begun to encroach on the landward side. A comparatively dry climate has made the area an ideal location for production of the wood. Climbing a strategically placed observation tower, you will have a perfect view of the area, which is a popular feeding ground for the animals in the mornings and late afternoons. Aside from a large number of bulls, you can see <a id="KonaLink0" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://blogs.cjb.net/waroksby/117410/#"><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial;font-size:9;color:#b00000;" ><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial;font-size:9;color:#b00000;" >deers</span></span></a>, pigs and a few peacocks. The existence of peacocks indicates that there are no tigers in the vicinity. The bulls usually keep their distance and at first it seemed that photographing is going to be a problem. However, it is suggested that one of you venture out into the open with a guide and attempt to approach the animals. Climbing over the boundary fence, you will cautiously and some what nervously head towards a large bull, which appeares to be grazing peacefully. You can approach them confidently with arms held high to resemble horns, a not entirely convincing disguise. If the bull suddenly lifts its head and looks straight at you, it means you have gone far enough. It is reachable by many kinds of vehicles about 76 km away from Banyuwangi.</small></span></p><h1 align="left"><span style="color: rgb(64, 128, 128);font-family:Times New Roman;" ><small>BALURAN </small></span></h1> <ul align="left"><li><small><span style="font-family:Arial;"><blink><b><a href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/banyu1.htm">Taman Nasional Baluran <small>(still available in Indonesian)</small></a></b></blink> <!--img SRC="newa.gif" WIDTH="20"--> </span></small></li></ul> <p align="center"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;"><!--IMG ALIGN=LEFT SRC = "baluran.jpg"--> <img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/baluran.gif" height="105" width="171" /> <img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/baluran1.gif" height="109" width="182" /> </span></small></p> <p><small><span style="font-family:Arial;"><b><i>The Baluran National Park is a natural preservation, located on the Eastern tip of Java.

It is a beautiful scenery and located about 32 km to the north west of Banyuwangi.</small></span></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">The principal attraction at Ijen is the large, sulphureous crater lake which lies hidden between sheer walls of deeply furrowed rock at more than 200 meters. The Ijen crater itself lies at approximately 2,300 meters above sea level. It forms a twin volcano with the now extinct Mount Merapi. The enormous crater lake, which is 200 meters deep and covers an area of more than meters, a million square meters, contains about 36 million cubic meters of steaming, acid water. </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">Ijen crater shows a special type of volcanic feature common to Indonesia, about 1 kilometer in diameter and 175 meters deep. The floor is covered completely by a warm lake, milky blue green in colours held back by a dam built many years ago by the Dutch, in order to keep the hot, mineral laden water from raining the crop lands below. </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small>The crater can be reached from either the east or the west by any kinds of vehicles, but the second part of the <a id="KonaLink4" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://blogs.cjb.net/waroksby/117410/#"><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial;font-size:9;color:#b00000;" ><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Arial;font-size:9;color:#b00000;" >trip</span></span></a> covers distance 3 km on foot (jungle track). However, the latter is more popular approach, since the climb from the road's end to the edge of the lake is only one and a half hours. And a walk around the lake takes a full day.</small> </span></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">The temperature drops at night, near the crater rim it can fall to about 5° Celcius. The road ends at Jampit, where very basic shelter is available. It is also possible to sleep in the old vulcanology station further up the hill, now used by sulphur collectors, but permission must be obtained in advance. </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">The sulphur is transported entirely on foot. In the past, horses were used but they were found to be less practical on the hazardous terrain. Today, the mine yields nine to twelve tons of sulphur per day. </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small>Individual loads of up to 70 kg are carried by men, often barefooted, up to the rim of crater and then 17 km down the mountainside to a factory near Banyuwangi.

The meaning was clear, since a continuous flow of two way traffic,carrying the sulphur down the mountainside from the lake and trudging up again to re-load, had left a yellow trail on the well worn path. The best time for seeing Ijen Crater is at 8 to 9 am.</small></span></p> <p align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small><br /> <br /> </small><span style="font-size:78%;">Click at the thumbnail pictures to get the big one<br /> </span><small><a href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijen1.htm"><img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijenico1.jpg" align="middle" border="0" hspace="5" /></a> <a href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijen2.htm"><img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijenico2.jpg" align="middle" border="0" hspace="5" /></a> <a href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijen3.htm"><img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijenico3.jpg" align="middle" border="0" hspace="5" /></a> <a href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijen4.htm"><img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijenico4.jpg" align="middle" border="0" hspace="5" /></a> <a href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijen5.htm"><img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijenico5.jpg" align="middle" border="0" hspace="5" /></a> <a href="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijen6.htm"><img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ijenico6.jpg" align="middle" border="0" hspace="5" /></a> </small></span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small> </small></span></p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="80%"><tbody><tr> <td colspan="2" width="100%"><small><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">How to reach Ijen Crater</span></strong></small></td> </tr> <tr> <td bg="" style="color: rgb(228, 228, 228);" width="50%"><small><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">Surabaya -

The egg-laying is subject to seasons, and at times the beach can be awash with turtles, especially during the full moon. Beach guards collect the eggs shortly after they have been laid and rebury them elsewhere where they are safe from poachers and such animals as leopards. The eggs hatch in about two months after which the young turtles are tended in special tanks at Sukamade until they are strong enough to survive in the ocean. Today, more than 2,500 turtles have been tagged and recorded since the beach became a protected area in 1972. The huge creatures which struggle from the moonlight surf are not without problems, as predators on and off the shore will devour most of their eggs and offsprings, but at least they are spared the human poacher. If homosapiens does lurk in the shadows, it is only the curious. <img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/ban15.jpg" align="left" height="99" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="200" /> Sukamade is still very isolated. To get there requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle, and above all perseverence. Main access is through a 50 km stretch of extremely rough road, passing rubber, coffee, and cocoa plantations. As yet there are no bridges crossing the the rivers, which, though negotiable during the dry season, can become very difficult to cross during the rainy season. Despite the discomfort, however, the trip may be rewarding. Two full days are needed for the 2-way journey with an overnight stop in Sukamade where limited accommodafon is available<br /> </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /> How to reach Sukamade:<br /> <br /> Surabaya - Probolinggo (99 km) : bus/train<br /> Probolinggo - Jember (99 km) : bus/train<br /> Jember - Jajag (74 km) : bus/train<br /> Jajag - Sukamade (62 km) : taxi<br /> </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">A conservation effort has been underway for some years at Sukamade Beach, where four types of sea turtle come regularly to nest. Stability of the turtle population has been helped by a careful system of tagging and monitoring, as well as the use of special hatcheries. Watching these giant creatures emerge from the surf and struggle-up the beach to lay their eggs on a moonlit night is a unique and unforgettable experience, and one which is certain to ensure Sukamade's ever growing popularity.<br /></span></small></p><p align="justify"><br /></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 91, 0);"><h1 align="left"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><small>TABUHAN ISLAND</small></span></h1> </span><p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">The fantastic island is composed and surrounded by white sand.

It is about 14 km from Banyuwangi. This tourist forest is located within the protected forest at block 66B, RPH Selogiri, BKPH Ketapang Ketapang, KPH of North Banyuwangi, at an altitude of 10 to 50 meters about the sea level. Administratively, it is governed as part of the Pasir Putih Village, of the Wongsorejo Sub-District, within the Banyuwangi Regency.</i></small><i> </i></span></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small>This place is very precious. The combinations of hill, forest and beach make the beautiful scenery. Its beauty is more completed by a giant stone with a plant stands up in the middle of highway to Surabaya. The romantic panorama provides a good place for jogging track, cross country as well as enjoying the beauty of Bali strait in distance.</small></span></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small>To the east of this tourist forest, and bordering the beach, a large boulder is standing 3 to 4 meters tall. A tree trunk is proturding from the south side of the boulder. At a glance, it seems that the branches are growing out of the solid rocks. While the larger boulder itself appears to rest on some other rocks. This is the characteristic that marks the Watu Dodol Tourist Forest.</small> </span></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">A few meters east of the boulder; there is a platform that resembles a place of worship. At certain days the floor of this platform will be full of flower offerings, even small change. </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">Across the road, in the west, there is a cement stairways that leads to the mountains. About 10 meters to the right of this footpath is an ancient grave. It is at this ancient grave that visitors often meditate. </span></small></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small><b>The Majapahit Soldiers</b><br /> </small></span></p> <span style="font-family:Arial;"><small> </small></span><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><small>According to the local people, and believed up till today, there are many stories that relate to the large boulder and the ancient grave. When Banyuwangi (in the past was called Blambangan), ruled by Minak Jinggo, was attacked by the Majapahit soldiers, many of the Blambangan soldiers fled, some to the north tracing the beaches along the Bali strait.</small> </span></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">One of the Blambangan officers who ran off, was carrying supplies in the form of jadah (dodol in Javanese, a sweet sticky rice cake). Because he was so tired, the jadah or dodol was unintentionally left behind on the beach, after resting out on his way to safety. The story goes that a solid standing boulder was formed out of the dodol left by the soldier. Even when the Japanese government widened the road, they did not succeed in blasting the boulder. Even the ship chains used to tumble it over, broke off. Today, the boulder still appears strong, and is even preserved as a tourist destination. </span></small></p> <p><small><span style="font-family:Arial;"><img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/dodol_2.GIF" align="right" height="166" hspace="10" width="259" /> </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">From the ancient grave, if you keep on climbing to the left, you will arrive at a rocky mountain. You can see far out into the Bali Straits. That is why it would not be redundant if the Watu Dodol Tourist Forest is claimed as the ideal place to enjoy the beauty of the straits that lead to the Island of The Gods. </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">On this mountain there is an observation cave left by the Japanese Soldiers from World War II. It is said that from this cave the Japanese Soldiers could watch freely the traffic of foreign vessels coming in and out of the Bali Strait from the north. Now the cave is hidden by the mountain and is covered up by bushes. From this Japanese cave, if you continue to the south, after about 500 meters you will arrive ata athreeway intersection. If you keep left and descend, you will arrive at a resting place, equipped with a children's palyground and an umbrella shaped permanent building. For relaxation with the family this place does well. The air around is fresh and tha place shaded off by the dense ketapang (k.o. almond) and other trees. And in the south, a spacious parking area is available. </span></small></p> <p align="justify"><small><span style="font-family:Arial;">And that's not all. East of Watu Dodol there is an umbrella shaped building that houses the restrooms and lockers for those wanting to change and bathe in the Bali Straits. </span></small></p> <p><small><span style="font-family:Arial;"><b>Sea Shells</b><br /> <img src="http://www.petra.ac.id/eastjava/cities/banyuw/tourobj/dodol_1.GIF" align="left" height="170" hspace="10" width="260" /> </span></small></p> <small><span style="font-family:Arial;">A bit to the north, there is a resting house complete with a seating arrangements. It is located exactly on therock that hangs over the Bali Straits. The natural scenery from here is really fascinating. Further to the north are stretches of coconut plantation. The leave wae with the wind, while there is a lot of sea creatures, in particular sea shells. It is quite infatuating to visit the Watu Dodol Tourist Park. And if you look in the direction of the island of Bali (to the east), the Menjanagan and Tabuhan Islands at the edge of Bali Island are visible.

The players are 12 to 14 people. The musical instruments are made of bamboo. Angklung has four varieties; angklung caruk, angklung tetak, angklung paglak, and angklung blambangan.<br /><br /><br /><br />Angklung Caruk<br />The word of “caruk” comes from the native Banyuwangi word that means “meeting”. Two groups meet and compete to play angklung together which is called angklung caruk. The groups play angklung together to show their ability and skill to one another and also to the spectators. There are usually three groups of spectators. One group is supportive to one angklung group and the other group is supportive to the second angklung group. The third group of spectators is neutral. As the result, the performance becomes very merry because of the tendencies of the supporters.<br /><br />Angklung Tetak<br />The word tetak come from the language that means “guarding in the night”. Angklung tetak can be a tool that is used to help guard the night. Angklung tetak became famous in 1950. At its inception the Angklung tetak grew at the village of Glagah. In 1974, it was being perfected especially relating to its tone.<br /><br />Angklung Paglak<br />Paglak is a simple hut which is built in the rice field or near a settlement. The paglak is built from bamboo and it is built about 10 meters above the land. So, if someone want to enter the hut, he must climb first to reach it. The function of this building is as a place to guard the rice paddy from the birds. Farmers usually take care of their rice paddy while playing the musical instrument of angklung in the paglak. Because of this, the art is called angklung paglak. A long time ago, before the harvest, the farmers organized angklung paglak performances.<br /><br />Angklung Blambangan<br />Angklung Blambangan is an improvisation of angklung caruk. The musical instruments include the gong and a gandrung musical instrument.<br /><br /><br /><br />Angklung is a typical art of Banyuwangi. The players are 12 to 14 people.

In the Sanskrit language barong means bear, derived from the word “B(h)arwang”. Baron can also refer to the roots that live near a bamboo cluster or a performance imitating a wild animal. Evidenced from the meanings above, the last meaning is closer to the meaning of the Barong Traditional Performance. There are many Barongsin Blambangan of Banyuwangi; for instance, Barong Prejeng, Barong Osing or Barong Blambangan. The main character of this performance is a big giant head, with open wide eyes and two tusks protruding from his mouth. Barong is a traditional performance. The story is taken from a folk tale. The most famous story is taken from Barong Jakrifah that tells about the struggle of the villagers to open a new area in the jungle and they have to face evil spirit of the jungle. The performance is usually begins in the night and finishes at dawn. The message to take care of the forest is always given in every performance.<br /><br />sumber:<br />eastjava.com<br />petra.ac.id<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://my.yahoo.com

Praburoro is a type of dramatic dance. The stories that are performed come from the Panji, or the tale of Amir Hamzah, which is influenced by Islamic Persian stories. There are about 40 - 50 people who are involved in this performance. The players are divided into 3 groups.<br /><br />The musical instrument is the gamelan of Java with slendro tone (a typical Javanese gamelan tone). Praburoro is a very unique presentation. First of all, the dance is a Javanese dance. The costumes are modeled after the wayang (puppet) orang performance. The musical instrument is the Javanese gamelan. The songs are also Javanese. However, the songs can be the songs of the Banyuwanginese; such as Padang Ulan, Waru Doyong, Kembang Waru, etc. The story is about the conquest of a non-moslem country. The performance ends with the scene of the King that has been conquered by Menak Agung Jayengrono and Umarmoyo.<br /><br />sumber:<br />eastjava.com<br />petra.ac.id<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://my.yahoo.com

This traditional music performance is similiar to Bordah, but the number of the musical instruments is more complete, including the kendang, jedor, gong and organ. The name of Kuntulan is taken from the fact that the dancers wear white clothes like the kuntul (type of bird). Initially this music only used rebana and jidor as the music instruments. As this music developed, the kendang and gong were added. This creation is called kundaran.<br /><br />sumber:<br />eastjava.com<br />petra.ac.id<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://my.yahoo.com

The purpose of this is to encourage the spirit of local ethnicity that will in turn increase the development of tourism. For this reason, Gandrung was determined to be the mascot of tourism in Banyuwangi according to the Banyuwangi Regency Decision, Number 173 in 2002.<br/><br/>The word “Gandrung” comes from the Javanese word that means “desperately in love”. It means that they are in love with the goddess of the rice paddy, Dewi Sri, that brings prosperity to the people of Banyuwangi who are mostly employed as farmers. In gratitude for the good harvest, the people organize a performance which is called “Gandrung” because the farmers were in love with the goddess of the rice paddy.<br/><br/>The Gandrung performance used to be performed at night, running from 09 PM until 04 AM. This traditional art is performed during the day as well to especially welcome distinguished guests.<br/><br/> <div class="blogger-post-footer">http://my.yahoo.com
