INDONESIA - INTRODUCTION

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago with over 17,000 islands. The country stretches 5,100 km along the equator between Australia and Asia and is bordered by the Pacific and Indian Oceans at the Equator. Few countries in the world could match Indonesia's diversity of population with some 490 different ethnics living together. With a fascinating, colourful and sometimes tumultuous past, Indonesia is a place of rich and diverse culture. Indonesia is "Ultimate in Diversity".
Indonesian landscapes are among the most diverse in the world. Visitors will not only see some spectacular beaches and coral reefs but also discover waterfalls, paddy fields, rice terraces, Southeast Asian largest lakes and even snowy mountains tops in Irian Jaya.
