Editor’s Itinerary

Indonesia
Duration: 2 Weeks
While Indonesia offers many exciting opportunities, most travelers know little about it. Virtually everyone has heard of Bali, but few people realize that there are more than 17,500 other islands in the archipelago, which is 3,275 miles wide. (For context, it is 2,446 miles from New York to Los Angeles.) Indonesia’s biodiversity is second only to that of Brazil’s. Despite having some of the world’s best scuba diving — in the exquisite Raja Ampat Islands — and exotic wildlife, like the Komodo dragon and numerous birds of paradise, most of Indonesia receives few tourists. Wherever you go, one of the most consistent pleasures is the food. Indonesian cuisine is complex, vibrant and almost infinitely varied. This itinerary combines relaxation, adventure and cultural interest.
