Volcanoes

Women travelers
Indonesia is a very safe destination for female travelers however, traveling alone at night is not recommended. Avoid motorcycle taxis after dark. Do keep in mind that Indonesia is a Muslim country and dress conservatively when you are not at the beach.
In Traffic
Be extra careful while navigating traffic in Indonesia – the conditions can be quite chaotic compared to Western countries. Tourists should avoid riding in motorcycles even if you find locals using this mode of transport – these are known to cause accidents.
