Mount Bromo, located in East Java, Indonesia, is an active volcano and one of the most iconic natural attractions in the country. It forms part of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park and is renowned for its stunning sunrise views and otherworldly landscape, characterized by its vast caldera and the Sea of Sand—a fine volcanic ash plain. Standing at 2,329 meters, it is not the highest peak in the region but is one of the most visited due to its accessible trekking routes.
Historically, Mount Bromo holds significant cultural importance to the local Tenggerese people, who believe the volcano to be sacred. The annual Yadnya Kasada festival is a unique event where the Tenggerese make offerings by throwing them into the crater to appease the mountain gods. Access to Mount Bromo typically involves a jeep ride or horseback trek, with the most popular starting point being the village of Cemoro Lawang. Visitors are advised to dress warmly due to the high altitude and chilly temperatures, especially before sunrise.
