Jakarta is famous for its own distinctive multicultural style, amazing cuisine and colorful tourism attractions.

The Indonesian archipelago boasts UNESCO-listed world heritages such as Borobudur and Prambanan, Komodo National Park, Ujung Kulon National Park and Sumatra rainforest and, of course, breathtaking ‘paradise’ islands, such as Bali, one of the world's most incredible beach destinations.
