Indonesia
Geography
The archipelago comprises 17,000 islands themselves gathered into sub archipelagos. To the north and from west to east, the Greater Sunda Islands are the largest in the country: Sumatra, Borneo (including the northern part of Malaysia) and the Sulawesi archipelago. In the trail of the long and narrow island of Java located below Borneo, following an arc-shaped line oriented to the south-west, stretch the Lesser Sunda Islands of Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores and Timor. Further to the east lie other islands such as the Moluccas, West Irian, and finally the western part of New Guinea, with its straight border separating the island in half from Papua.
Due to its location on a tectonic midpoint, the archipelago is very mountainous: on Sumatra, Mt. Kerinci rises to 3,800 m in Java and Mt. Semeru to 3,676 m. The peak of Indonesia is located in Irian Jaya (Puncak Jaya 5,030 m). The great eastern plain of Sumatra, the southern plain of Borneo and the northern plains of Java are exceptions. Two arcs almost completely encircle the "floor of the Sound": the internal arcing, from Sumatra to Flores and Banda, and the external arc from Nias and Mentawai to Sumba, Timor, Ceram and finally Buru.
If vast tropical forests cover two thirds of the country, the east coast of Sumatra and parts of the north coast of Java are covered with mangroves and swamps. Indonesia now comprises over 320 national parks. Walking through the rice fields and the forests, climbing volcanoes (trekking), all-terrain vehicle road trips, boating on a traditional prao, snorkelling and diving, water sports and activities such as surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, rafting, bungee jumping .. The landscapes of Indonesia offer unlimited possibilities!
