As you work the land, feel a profound connection to nature and the centuries-old traditions that have sustained communities in this fertile region.

Morning Market
Strolling around Indonesia’s vibrant markets is a great way to witness the rhythms and routines of daily life. Pasar Gede, which literally translates to “big market,” is the city’s largest traditional market, operating since 1930 in Solo’s Chinese district. Designed by Dutch architect Thomas Karsten, it’s also become an architectural icon for its classic combination of Dutch and Javanese architecture. Set off early in the morning to take in the bustling atmosphere, and browse through stalls hawking fruits and vegetables, along with street foods such as from mie pentil (flavourful fried noodles) and es dawet (a rice flour dessert made with shaved ice, brown sugar and coconut milk).
