Pasuruan, Indonesia Cruises

Pasuruan, Indonesia Cruise Port

• If time allows, a tour to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park is in order. About 30 miles south of Pasuruan, the park is a protected area, containing a group of five volcanoes called Tengger Caldera. Within this group is one of one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes: Mount Semeru, which erupts with some frequency. There's little vegetation higher up, but lush forest below with plenty of flora and fauna.
   
• For some nature closer to the city, check out Bhakti Alam. This pretty park includes a pleasant view, tour of the fruit crops, and a fishing pond (where you can catch your own fish, which is then cooked for you).
   
• West of the city is the Candi Jawi or Jawi Temple, dating back to the 13th century. This Hindu-Buddhist was a place of worship for those following the Shiva-Buddha sect, a syncretic religion patronized by King Hayam Wuruk. The mountains provide a scenic backdrop to the restored temple, whose various relics can be found in the Trowulan Museum.
   
• The picturesque Air Terjun Putuk Truno Prigen or Putuk Truno Waterfall is a refreshing escape from the city. There are plenty of areas around it to sit, rest, and just enjoy nature.
