Ijen Caldera Cluster 2 (Pulau Merah - Meru Betiri National Park)

Pulau Merah - Meru Betiri

Set within an ancient volcanic arc, this region offers a rare combination of geological marvels and ecological richness. Along the coast, volcanic features tell the story of the earth's fiery past, with massive intrusive rock formations showcasing magma’s slow crystallization deep within the earth’s crust. Towering columnar joints, shaped by cooling lava, create a dramatic, almost otherworldly landscape. The nearby geoforest is a haven for biodiversity, thriving on the nutrient-rich volcanic soils. It is home to rare plant species and serves as a critical habitat for wildlife, including endangered sea turtles that nest along the beaches under the cover of night. This area not only provides opportunities to marvel at nature’s artistry but also allows for immersive activities such as observing turtle conservation efforts, exploring pristine forest trails, and experiencing the tranquil beauty of unspoiled beaches. It’s a destination where ancient volcanic history comes alive in the vibrant ecosystems that now call it home.
