## Travel Guide

![A beautiful and healthy coral reef surrounds a volcanic island off the coast of Flores, Indonesia. This area, in the Lesser Sunda Islands, is known for its high marine biodiversity.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635976193983/4f11b900-03fb-4242-a380-b5b2c0d25ead.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Probably the highlight of our Ubud weekend was visiting Goa Gajah, just outside of city center. There’s a small cost to enter, but worth every rupiah. It’s called “Elephant Cave”, for good reason, the carvings and sculptures are something to see! The cave itself is tiny, and rather anti-climatic. The bathing pools aren’t ideal for swimming, but make for some cool photos. The most incredible part of Goa Gajah is the hike to the waterfall. Some may even miss it, because it’s obscurely marked with signs for a Buddhist temple. It's about a 30 minute hike on narrow trails through lush greenery. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6206366/49c075ff-964b-4bcd-b843-e11d92568b20.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![These astonishing temples carved in both side of the gulch cliffs are separated by a river and small bridge.  There are stairs and pathways to the waterfalls and river. This sacred area has great views as your hiking down and up. Stopping for a few breaks is also a good reason to take pictures of the rice fields and lush greenery! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6154520/8ec85502-e27d-4d1d-a9ff-144fb6d0464d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Dreamland Beach (now known as New Kuta Beach) is a beach located on the Bukit peninsula, on the island of Bali, Indonesia.

While now Kuta beach is so crowded and 'not-so-natural' beach due to its popularity, this New Kuta Beach looked so-empty-beach compared to the 'original' one.

This is Bali, and Bali is so much fun!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/8956/8baa3576-64be-490a-9310-c057324e1d1d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
