but quiet,
In terms of altitude, Ijen 11 12 with Mount Bromo in Probolinggo.
So, Ijen is moderate. Friendly to novice climbers, guys or girls.
BOTH is enjoying the Blue Fire attractions. The attraction of this unique show is directly presented by nature.
In the crater of Ijen at night, we can approach and see clearly the blazing flame of bright fire, burning sulfur stuck to the mountainside. Toward dawn, let alone the sun has risen, this blue fire will slowly disappear.
So make sure you have reached the top of the mountain, and then down to the crater to enjoy this magical fire.
JUST THERE 2 IN THE WORLD
Blue fire is only 2 in the world. The first in Iceland, and the second in Ijen mountain.
Because there are only 2 places in the world, it is natural that all citizens of the world come to Ijen Crater to enjoy it. This is certainly very proud of us as citizens of Indonesia
So, Ijen is already very well known all over the world
And I can tell you, maybe from 100 mountaineers in Ijen, one quarter is bule. If pas long vacation, there are 1000 climbers, then approximately 250 of them are Caucasian.
Do not be surprised when climbing together, and down the mountain also together, our ears will be familiar with the various foreign languages spoken by them. There are English, French, German, Mandarin, Malay, Russian, etc
FRIENDLY FOR THE MOUNTAIN MOUNTAIN HEADERS

Ticket counters are open since 00:01 pm. And at 2 o'clock in the morning, the climb has started. So, in order to climb him busy with the other climbers make sure the clock 2 right you are ready at the mountain gate.
Official climbing route on Ijen mountain there is only one. And it has been determined by the manager. So, 100% safe.
LOW PRICES TICKETS
Ijen crater entry price is very cheap.
Only Rp 7,500 per person for permission to go up the mountain, and Rp 3,000 for motorcycle parking.
Is there anything else to pay? There is. But not necessarily. That is when you have reached the top of the mountain, and then want to go down to Ijen Crater to see the Blue Fire. There is a mask rental service to dispel the sulfur smell that sting. The rent is Rp 20 thousand
If they call Rp 25 thousand or 30 thousand, still bargained Rp 20 thousand. But if you do not want to go down to the crater, and just stop at the top of the mountain to wait for the sunrise, certainly do not need a mask. when it comes down to its crater, you will meet passengers or sulfur miners carrying 30 kg of sulfur.
Those are the things that make Ijen a must on your visit list.
Other important additional information is:
- There are several homestays (living in residential homes, outside the forest area) or official lodging within the forest area. Price is very affordable, lah ..
- There is also a field for you who bring a tent for a free stay there.
- Toilets (this is very unfortunate) there is only 1 location. So it causes a long queue for its users. The management must add the existing toilet facilities, to be more comfortable to use.
- Need to increase the number of stalls and breakfast variations in the tourist area.
so, lets go to Ijen crater
