Bromo, Indonesia, is a Volcano is located south of the city of Surabaya in East Java province.
It's not a huge volcano, but the setting is spectacular – it feels like one is on the moon when walking through the valley that leads up to the volcano.

The best bit is walking along the edge of Bromo – and not be overwhelmed by the odd spurt of rotten egg case entering your nostrils!
Air Asia flies to Surabaya regularly from Jakarta so you too can visit Bromo, Indonesia. Check out their website for a cheap airfare!
