2 Best Sights in Indonesia

This working farm, set among some of Java's most verdant hills and surrounded by eight volcanoes, dates to the 1920s and still raises Indonesia's characteristic robusta coffee, now grown organically, along with other produce for the plantation's luxurious resort and spa. A one-hour tour explains coffee-growing and processing, and ends with a chance to sample a cup of Java—yes, that slang term for coffee traces to this island—and other plantation-grown delicacies.

Learn how java got its name at the Munduk Moding Plantation, where you can take a walking tour of the 12-acre coffee plantation. The informative 45-minute trek also features cloves, sugar palms, and tropical fruits. Come early for the views—on a clear day, you can see across the strait to Java's volcanic Mount Merapi. The on-site restaurant serves Balinese and international dishes, as well as hearty breakfasts perfect for the cool mountain air, accompanied by homegrown brew. The boutique resort hotel features horseback riding for longer treks in the extraordinarily countryside and a spectacular infinity pool.
