Singapore, formerly a fishing village and a haven for pirates, is now an elegant and orderly metropolis, far from the clichés of Asia's sprawling capitals. A true melting pot of civilizations, Singapore welcomes you with its modern decor which has nevertheless preserved the specificities of the different cultures that populate it. Indonesia, in another sense, is also a real example of diversity: a cornucopia of traditions and religions where everyone finds their place and where the traveller is lulled by this inexhaustible variety.
You start off slow, with an in-depth tour of Singapore which serves as an introduction to Asia in an urban version. You then dive into the heart of Java with the ascent of two volcanoes, each offering a unique atmosphere and experience. You finally end with the island of Bali, a Hindu enclave in the heart of the largest Muslim country in the world, whose serenity and traditions immediately transports each of its visitors.
This tour through Singapore and Indonesiarepresents a real contrast of culture, landscapes and atmospheres. You dive step-by-step into three completely different worlds, despite their geographic proximity. A rewarding and fulfilling experience awaits you during this 11 day adventure.
