It is a land of many wonders, with a rich cultural tapestry, diverse landscapes, and unique features. Known as the largest archipelagic nation in the world, Indonesia boasts over 17,000 islands, 300 different ethnicities and 700 languages.

From the Borobudur Temple, which is the largest Buddhist temple in the world, to having the highest number of active volcanoes anywhere on earth (130), unique wildlife in the Borneo and Sumatra rainforests, as well as the Komodo island, to the most diverse marine life on earth found in Raja Ampat; the list of attractions is long, and the Indonesia government is fully capitalising on this.
