INDONESIA - Bali
Bali is known as the "Island of Gods" for the numerous hindu temples and shrines and famous for its beautiful beaches and highland retreats. This stunning island blends spectacular mountain scenery and beautiful beaches with warm and friendly people, a vibrant culture and world class resorts. Bali is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather and music.
Bali is predominantly Hindu while the rest of Indonesia is mostly Muslim.
Denpasar is the main city with an international airport and it can take a while before reaching your hotel as the traffic is always very heavy in this area. Depending of your arrival time at the International Airport, Immigration lines can be also very long.
