Welcome to paradise. This is Bali.Although it sounds like a cliche, Bali is a paradise on earth. Beauty and long beaches of endless, vast paddy fields and releasing their fragrance damp temples, ancient and modern, more refined Hinduism, and a simple life of its people, which all precede a smile, is what that you will find the travelers.
Let's start with the temples. The island of Bali Hinduism hosted in the seventh century, adapting to their animist beliefs. Religion over the centuries brought with art, literature, music and culture. The ultimate expression of beauty that takes faith in Bali is reflected in the temples, here known as pure. Monumental or domestic, each town on the island has at least three, and will be rare when the passenger does not surprise offerings by women, or men entering hastily into one of them.
Temples, craters and lots of cultureDo not be rushed into the temple of
Tanah Lot, even if many people. It is a tourist attraction, and before that little can be done except to abstract and see the beauty of the landscape that will lock stuck between cliffs, rocked by the constant murmur of the waves. If you want to avoid the crowds, in the interior of the island there are other temples, even sacred, which are worth a visit, such as Batur.
Also inside
Ubud. Small and refined Ubud hosted the monarchy, becoming in 1900 a protectorate Netherlands (by request of his king). Since then, the traditional and ornate city today overturned only feed your soul, that is, entirely devoted to religion and culture. It is worth traveling its narrow streets, into bookstores, craft shops, galleries, antique shops and museums such as the
Puri Lukis, Fine Arts.
Of rice fields and beaches
Nature signed his particular work of art in this Indonesian island. The paddies lining the entire island, staggered in terraces that seem to try to reach the sky. They are like emerald staircases when the sun falls off a fragrance that permeates the skin moist. It is difficult not to attend the farmers' hard work throughout the day. And all work is done while worship
Dewi Sri, the goddess of rice and fertility. And is that Bali, although it's a tourist brochure title, is considered the island of the gods. They created it and they guard.
The south of Bali, as well as gods, hosts the most popular beaches: Like Dreamland, which seems a postcard, the Blue Ocean Beach, full of bars, or
Kuta, always crowded, perhaps because much of it is located here tourism infrastructure cheaper. And although it believes Bali is an affordable paradise.
Prices are somewhat higher in nearby
Seminyak, perhaps because the style is paid. While the beaches may be similar, which gives this village are shops and night. And the two proposals are excellent. Many of the regulars of the night are actually fans of the day because they come to Bali in search of waves. And find them. While the north is the place to go diving in the southern beaches with incredible waves await. The deserted Echo Beach is the perfect beach for surfers.
It is also the perfect place to ring in the day, and understand then, between the sound of the waves and the infinite sky for what is rightly considered Bali the island of the gods.
