Jakarta Ciwidey White Crater and Patengan Lake from Jakarta

Ciwidey’s "White Crater" is one of South Bandung’s most captivating natural attractions, offering breathtaking views of a milky turquoise lake set within a volcanic crater surrounded by dramatic cliffs and sulfur mist. The area is also rich with hilly landscapes, lush tea plantations, and cool mountain air, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and holidaymakers. Although it takes longer to reach from Jakarta than from Bandung, we provide a convenient one-day tour from Jakarta, allowing visitors to escape the city and immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the highlands. Despite the crater being inactive, the lingering sulfur aroma adds to the unique experience of the site.

After exploring the White Crater, the journey continues to Situ Patenggang, a tranquil lake situated at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level. Enveloped by a vast nature reserve, the lake covers an area of 45,000 hectares and offers exotic scenery framed by lush forests and rolling hills. Known locally as Situ Patengan, this picturesque destination holds cultural significance and is beloved for its peaceful atmosphere. The cool climate, combined with the lake’s expansive views and natural charm, makes it a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection, completing a memorable day of adventure in the South Bandung region.
