all, Bali boasts a whole range of different environments. This
compact landscape centres on a line of active volcanoes with alluvial
slopes with spill down to coastal plains. Tropical rainforest
fringe the mountains, eventually giving way to carefully cultivated
rice fields and crop growth. Further down on the plains, water
logged mangrove swamps lead to ocean, a number of different rivers
and streams, in turn, wind their way trough a cross section of

go. Wherever you are and whatever you choose to do, enjoy the
