BROMO TENGGER SEMERU NATIONAL PARK

Bromo Caldera is the youngest caldera from the well-known Tengger Caldera, a volcanic massif extending from Semeru volcano with 16 km width. The massive Tengger volcanic complex dated back to about 820,000 years ago and consists of five overlapping stratovolcanoes, each truncated by a caldera.

An overlapping cluster of post-caldera cones was constructed on the floor of the Sand sea caldera within the past several thousand years. The youngest of these is Bromo, one of Java's most active and most frequently visited volcanoes. Bromo is the most favourite and most visited by the tourists. 

Spontaneously, tourism has created business opportunity for the community in the inside and surrounding Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park.  Both for the Tenggerese and the outsiders, as the diversity of tourism service started in 1977 until now. The community provides wind-coat and camera rental, cafes, restaurants, food-stalls, jeep and horse rental, souvenir-stalls and rooms for rent.

How to get there

Most visitors come through Probolinggo, a small transit town located on Surabaya – Banyuwangi coastal route. From there, catch the public minibuses that go to Cemara Lawang village, located 3 km away from the crater wall.
