IJEN becomes a thrilling experience when we look directly the struggle of those people who go into the center of the earth to exploit its resources. There are no sophisticated tools; the only tools are the fragile strength of arms and legs.
Ijen cauldron is the sulfur resources which is very important for human being. This cauldron is located at the top of Ijen mountain, which belongs to the series of volcanoes in East Java, Bromo, Semeru, and Merapi Mount. Ijen mountain is
at the east side of Merapi Mount. The cauldron takes place at 2,368 meter above the sea level. The width is about
20 kilometers, inside the largest caldera in Java. Ijen has become the tourist area for many foreign tourists. The beauty of Ijen flows with its popularity as the cauldron with highest acid level in the world.
Even the lowest degree of acid can dissolve human body quickly. The tempera-ture of Ijen Cauldron is up to 200 degree of Celcius. The hot and thick air will choke human throat. Yet, the sulfur miners faces all of those dangers every day.
The road is also steep. Only the strong legs, persistent soul, and tough spirit can feel the greatness of Ijen Cauldron.
Four wheel drive car will be the most suitable vehicle to conquer the heavy road.
On the way to Ijen mountain, at about 15 kilometer from the main road, in Glagah Village, there is the Kalibendo Plantation. The fragrance of clove, rubber, coffee, and cacao plantation spreads along the journey.
