ABOUT INDONESIA
Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia and the world's largest archipelagic state, is comprised of over 17,000 islands, 7,000 of which are uninhabited. Although a shared language and national identity has emerged, Indonesia is home to many distinct native ethnic and linguistic groups. The country is rich with cultural diversity and religious pluralism (although most of the population is Muslim).
When traveling to Indonesia, you'll enjoy beautiful tropical beaches and stunning views of volcanos and rice terraces. Embrace the history and soak in the local culture at the famous temples, but always remember to be respectful of local customs and laws. Plus, enjoy the flavorful cuisine and delicious tropical fruit as you eat your way around the country.
