Description
Experience the magic of Borobudur at sunrise, explore the ancient ruins of Candi Boko, and discover the world of Luwak coffee on a guided tour from Yogyakarta.
Begin your day with a majestic sunrise visit to Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple. Watch the first golden rays of dawn illuminate this 9th-century stone mandala. Follow your guide through the temple’s ten levels, and learn about the intricate narrative reliefs that depict the path to enlightenment.
After absorbing the serene atmosphere of Borobudur, journey to the mystical site of Candi Boko (Ratu Boko Palace), a sprawling hilltop complex that offers a completely different perspective of ancient Javanese civilization.
Perched on a scenic plateau south of Prambanan, Candi Boko is not a temple but the remains of a fortified royal palace and ceremonial complex from the 8th-century Mataram Kingdom. Explore grand gateways, audience halls, meditation caves, and royal bathing pools set against a breathtaking panoramic backdrop.
Unlike the structured spirituality of Borobudur, Boko reveals the secular and administrative life of ancient Javanese royalty. Witness a spectacular sunset over the Yogyakarta plain, with the silhouettes of Mount Merapi and Prambanan temples in the distance, creating a perfect transition from the ancient world to a modern Indonesian luxury.
Finish your tour with an immersive visit to a renowned Luwak Coffee Education Center in Mataram. Begin with an ethical introduction to the luwak (Asian palm civet), and learn about its natural behavior and role in the ecosystem.
Visit centers that practice sustainable, cage-free methods, ensuring the animals’ welfare. Watch a detailed demonstration, tracing the bean’s incredible journey—from the civet’s selective foraging and natural fermentation in its digestive system to the meticulous collection, washing, sun-drying, and artisanal roasting process that creates this legendary "liquid gold."
The pinnacle of the experience is a professional coffee appreciation session. Under the guidance of a luwak coffee expert, learn to savor the brew’s unique characteristics: its remarkably smooth body, low acidity, and complex flavor notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and a subtle earthy aroma.
Leave not only with the memory of its taste but with a deep understanding of why Kopi Luwak is a celebrated global phenomenon, representing a perfect and rare symbiosis between nature and craftsmanship.
