Explore Bali
Bali's vibrant Indonesian culture is as deeply captivating as its sparkling beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters. Twenty thousand fresh-flower-strewn Hindu temples alive with the sound of gamelan music dominate life in Bali. But away from its settled areas, the island has jungles, volcanoes and mountain springs. The United States lifted its travel warnings concerning Bali, and tourism has rebounded.
