It is everywhere, a common identity reference point throughout the immense archipelago. And everywhere it is turquoise blue. It will be the pretext for boat trips, a first scuba diving experience or simply snorkeling. These bottoms are among the most beautiful and fishy in the world. And for the more sporty, surfers, it offers incredible spots, such as the waves of the Mentawai Islands.

Extraordinary sites :
The immense archipelago is home to some of the most remarkable natural attractions on the planet: rare animals such as the Sumatran tiger, orangutans or the surprising Komodo dragon, plants such as the rafflesia of one metre in diameter, and above all the fantastic landscapes created by these chains of volcanoes (half a thousand of them are still active in the country).
