8Indonesia: Volcanoes That Can Change Your Itinerary

Indonesia is home to some of the world’s most spectacular volcanic landscapes. Bali, Java, Lombok and other islands attract millions of visitors, but volcanic activity can occasionally create significant travel complications.

Ash clouds may lead to airport closures and flight cancellations, even when an eruption occurs far from a major tourist resort. Earthquakes, tsunamis and heavy rainfall are additional hazards. Travellers planning to climb Mount Bromo or explore areas around active volcanoes should check exclusion zones and official warnings before setting out.
