Discovering Yogyakarta it’s surroundings

Gentle Java is unlike any other tropical island in the world. Heir to an art and history that is as supernatural as its temples (Borobudur, Prambanan, etc.), this island is a landscape of rice paddies dominated by a hundred volcanic cones, which are as beneficial as they are destructive.
