#Indonesia #Yogyakarta #merapi Considered to be sacred by the locals, Mount merapi is the most active volcano in Indonesia located in the border of Central #Java and the city of Yogyakarta. It has erupted regularly since 1548 with the most recent eruption occured on 18th November 2013. While considered as a tourist attraction nowadays, the danger of eruptions are still a possibility so always check on government warnings and alerts before visiting. The path up to the #mountain can only be accessed with all-terrain jeeps which are rented at the base of the mountain for around 300-400 thousand rupiah which includes a driver. Also there aren't much trees or covers along the way up so don't forget to bring sunscreen and sunglasses or you will more likely be burned by the sun rather than the lava :)
Mount Merapi is a reminder of Mother Nature's amazing power. Whether they're active, dormant or extinct, the landscapes around volcanoes are a sight to behold.

This Pakem geological phenomenon is a good spot to kick off your day of sightseeing. There's plenty to see nearby, such as Gunung Merapi National Park, Merapi Golf Course, and Ullen Sentalu Museum. Take your time at Mount Merapi before hitting up these other fine attractions.
