It's truly a unique landscape. I was recommend by a friend. However; at midnight I saw tourists heading up like a parade. Blocked the way the miners with baskets on their shoulder that they have to excuse all the way. It's probably one of the toughest work to do in the world, and been paid very very little. Tourists paid a lot to agency/government to visit here. The benefits brought by outside could have been used to improved the locals life, yet we all know it just end up in someone's pocket. We tourist affact their work so much, showing up with fancy clothes and cameras but not doing any good to the people and the land. I wish things could have been run differently.

I never go there, but i hear the story from my best friend, and this picture by her.. It's amazing, how beautiful place and i sure the way to go there is so hard. My friend told me that the people who live around there are so strong because they can dig the sulphur from the bottom of the crater and bring it out from the mount about 70 kg in once take.. But it price just about one thousand rupiah per kg.. I really appreciate it, and really hope one day can go there..

Got up really early for the mountain hike. It can be quite challenging if you're not fit enough but all my effort was worth it in the end because of the magnificent view. It was so beautiful I thought I was looking at computer generated photos. I was a little disappointed because the place was littered by some visitors. They should respect mother nature. We picked up some of the trash while we were on our way down.

We started hiking like many, at about 2 am. It's for everybody who want to see the blue fire.The hiking took 2-3 hours. Depends on your strenght. It took me 3, cause I brought two children, and I was not that strong (we made many stops). Hundreds people hiked that night, some brought musical instruments. So it's not boring at all.
You need to bring your own flashlight to see the road. It's sometimes slippery or so hard, so wear that suitable shoes.
This time, a lift service is available. For some hundred thousand rupiahs, someone will bring you up or down. Food or drink seller is available on the way up.
They did not exagerate, the crater was just memorable. Don't forget to buy a nose cover. The sulphur smoke is sometimes annoying. I just enjoyed the blue fire from above. Don't have energy to get down from the top.

⚡️How I (almost) passed out at the Ijen volcano⚡️.

Anyone who wish to visit that volcano, I strongly recommend two months of intense training at the gym. I went without any preparation and still do not understand how I was able to climb up there. We walked at night, at about 3 o'clock and surprisingly, there were a lot of travellers who also chose this time in order to see a "blue fire" of a sulphur cloud, about which so much written on the Internet. In fact, what awaits you is a hike in pitch darkness, about 3,000 meters uphill (slope of 40+degrees) on the wet ground, then hellish descent to the volcano over the huge rocks and all of this for the sake of seeing the blue "fire" as from a tiny match. Also, the cloud that you see at the photo - covered us unexpectedly and in these seconds can overtake you unexpectedly. When it hit us - it was not possible to breathe or open eyes, we all fell to the ground and I thought "hope the wind soon will change direction or I will die," that's how toxic it was! (respiratory masks that we were given on the mountain, were rather sham, since they did not help at all). On my opinion, it will be more better to hike after sunrise as there will be less people, you actually can see where to step and with the sunrise, you can see the magnificent scenery. Here you can see world's largest acid lake of pure turquoise colour with the edges of the slopes covered with a yellow sulphuric crust. Under water - magma of a volcano. Since the depth and density of the water is too high, the magma remains locked at the bottom.The lake is a deadly, yet you can touch it by hand. The temperature on the surface is about 50-60 ° C, and in the depth - over 200 ° C. This place is equally attractive and dangerous. So get ready for it very carefully.
