Mount Bromo (Indonesian: Gunung Bromo) is an active volcano and part of the Tengger Massif in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known.
The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo is derived from the Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.
In the tour show below are three panoramas taken for different locations. The first is from a popular lookout, Penanjakan Bromo, the second while standing at the rim of the caldera itself and the third a remote lookout called Mentigen Hill.
Stairs.
In order to reach the rim of the Mount Bromo caldera you cross a plain called the Sea of Sand, then up a long slope to a set of concrete stairs leading you up to the rim. It’s quite a climb but for those of us with heavy camera gear there are local cowboys with horses you can hire.
