Bhumi Merapi
Education & Adventure Tourism on Merapi's Slopes
Taking kids to the Lava Tour feels too extreme? Bhumi Merapi is a family-friendly alternative on Merapi's slopes. Children can learn about volcanoes through miniatures and interactive displays, feed rabbits and goats, even ride mini ATVs in a safe area.
Cool Kaliurang air, green scenery, and fun educational activities without having to descend into lava zones. Perfect for families with children aged 3-12 who are curious about Merapi but not ready for heavy adventure.
