Indonesia
Not everyone has the privilege of calling a massive expanse of as many as 18,000 islands stretched along the equator "home," but for Indonesians, the world's largest archipelago is a mysterious backyard spread out along the equator containing a tropical snow-capped mountain, komodo dragons, and even a 12-inch miniature deer. As a practical matter, it's really the five largest islands, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Papua -- names familiar to coffee drinkers everywhere -- and thirty smaller archipelagoes that see the most action. The country's beaches top the lists of dream locations for surfers and divers around the world. But landlubbers won't feel left out, as there are enough active volcanoes to occupy a lifetime's worth of trekking. Ebullient festivals abound the whole year, providing excellent opportunities to observe Indonesia's famous traditional art forms like puppetry, music, and dance as well as less familiar ones, like ram fighting. Situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire, the country has many hazards, both natural and man-made, which continue to earn the attention of the press and demand a note of caution. Still, a visit to Indonesia's beautiful temples, diverse ethnic groups, and the endless opportunities for spa treatments will quickly put your worries to rest.
