The islands of Bali and Java are nested in the middle of the island nation of Indonesia, which is comprised of over 14,000 islands. Bali and Java are home to ancient civilizations that, over the centuries, have held art, music, and theatre at the center of their vibrant culture. Few places in the world can boast such a tremendous range of skilled master artisans in weaving, batik, wood carving, stone carving, leather working, and painting, as well as, dancers, musicians, and performers of masks and puppets who have passed down their knowledge for generations. Bali and Java also have an exciting contemporary art scene, which is built on the past traditions, and incorporates the new exciting international urban life.

Both islands have a tremendous variety of cultural attractions with a wide range of textiles and crafts, dramatic performances, traditional music concerts, countless temples and palaces, and four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The natural beauty of the islands also offers opportunities to hike to the top of an active volcano, stroll through rice terraces, feed the monkeys that play in the temples, snorkel among coral reefs, and bathe in sacred springs deep in the tropical jungle.
