Beschrijving
Explore the Borobudur and Prambanan temples on a guided tour from Yogyakarta. Learn about the history of these ancient sites and discover the unique process of making Luwak coffee.
Begin your adventure at the sacred Borobudur Temple, where you'll witness the world's largest Buddhist monument emerge from the morning mist during a breathtaking sunrise experience. As dawn illuminates 2,672 intricate relief panels and 504 serene Buddha statues, your expert guide will unravel the temple's symbolic architecture as a cosmic mandala.
Following this spiritual awakening, journey eastward to the majestic Hindu temple complex of Prambanan, where towering spires reach toward the heavens in dramatic contrast to Borobudur's horizontal expanse. Explore the magnificent Trimurti temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma, adorned with captivating Ramayana epic reliefs.
Discover how these contemporaneous monuments represent different philosophical approaches—Borobudur's inward contemplation versus Prambanan's dynamic storytelling—yet share sophisticated construction techniques and artistic vision. Learn how both temples utilize volcanic stone from the same majestic Mount Merapi that dominates Central Java's landscape, creating a profound connection between geography, spirituality, and human achievement that endured through centuries.
Finally, visit a premier Luwak Coffee Education Center in Mataram, where you'll encounter Indonesia's most legendary culinary treasure. Here, transform coffee appreciation into an unforgettable educational adventure exploring why this unique brew has captivated global connoisseurs as the world's most exclusive coffee.
Begin with an introduction to the Asian palm civet (locally called luwak or musang) in ethical, natural habitats, explaining how these nocturnal mammals selectively consume only the ripest coffee cherries. Witness the entire artisanal process—from sustainable collection of beans to traditional washing methods and perfect roasting techniques—that creates coffee's celebrated "liquid gold."
