This place is suitable for transiting tourists, rather than a destination piont. Mount Ijen Crater Not exactly the most accessible of all craters, this Ijen crater may become of great interest to the adventurous tourist. The trip to the crater should start early in the morning the next day because road accessibility only gets you up to 14 km from the crater which you have to d on foot, and up-hill for that matter. Special about this crater is its wide gaping mouth having a diameter of 1 km, whereas its depth all the way to the bottom is 17 meters, where a turquoise lake is found with its impressive SL roundings. Ponorogo Ponorogo is located southwest of Surabaya at a distance of 200 km.
