Pinus Pengger: A Forest of Art and Tranquility.
Nestled in the hills of Dlingo, Pinus Pengger is a serene pine forest that blends natural beauty with artistic installations. Visitors are drawn to its mystical atmosphere, especially at sunset when the forest glows with lanterns and city lights twinkle below.
Timang Beach: Extreme adventure among cliffs and wild waves.
Timang Beach, on the southern coast of Yogyakarta, is famous for its iconic hanging bridge and gondola that connects the beach to the rocky island of Panjang. This experience is not for the faint of heart: crossing the turbulent sea is pure adrenaline.
Kedung Kayang: Waterfall Views Beneath Mount Merapi.
Kedung Kayang Waterfall lies between the majestic Merapi and Merbabu volcanoes. With a 40-meter drop and a scenic viewpoint, it's one of the most photogenic spots in Central Java.

Oyo River Tubing offers a relaxing float through scenic canyons and gentle rapids. Ideal for all ages, this activity includes a stop at the romantic "Bridal Waterfall" halfway through the route.

The rice fields of Selogriyo, located on the slopes of Mount Sumbing, offer a peaceful trek through emerald-green terraces and traditional villages. It's a chance to connect with rural life and enjoy breathtaking views.
