The Birding Travel Experience (2)

Add to this the sheer fun and wonder of travelling in this archipelago of diverse cultures and landscapes and Indonesia is sure to be a place you will want to return to time and time again. Most of the sites introduced in this guide are now easily accessible by car thanks to the country’s rapidly improving infrastructure, but birders with a taste for adventure will find traveling to remoter sites a memorable and exciting montage of gazing out of airplane windows at awesome volcanic landscapes, bumping down awful roads in packed minibuses, chugging across sparkling seas on inter-island ferries, and careering along on the back of motorbike taxis (ojeks).
