Tangkuban Perahu & Tea Gardens
Tangkuban Perahu is located on a 1,5-2 hour drive northwest from us, mostly you pass the city or ask our staff to send you the back road through villages and an old colonial Kina garden, or what’s left of it. The road is bad, small, steep, but interesting enough. Count then an extra hour. Tangkuban Perahu itself is an enormous crater, deep and, as you know they look like, smells of sulfur, with many stalls with souvenirs on the edges. Good to take a walk, pictures, and so on.
Take note, and this counts for any volcano and tea plantation, or high area in the mountains; in the rainy season, clouds will come in early. Take a vest as it can be chilly up there later in the day. Also, views can become limited by clouds moving in mostly during the rainy season and after midday.
