The Sunrise of Java Banyuwangi, also known as Banyuwangi, is a regency located at the easternmost tip of the island of Java. With its diverse natural beauty, Banyuwangi is an attractive tourist destination for both domestic and international tourists. Of the many tourist destinations, Banyuwangi has 3 champions, nicknamed The Diamond Triangle of Banyuwangi or the Banyuwangi Diamond Triangle. These three destinations are called the Diamond Triangle because if drawn in a straight line, the location points resemble a triangle and have high tourism assets. This Diamond Triangle offers a variety of beauty such as Mount Ijen with its crater and blue fire, Sukamade with the excitement of adventure and beaches, and Alas Purwo with world-famous waves at Pelekung Beach. Who doesn't know the Ijen Crater? This crater is world-famous for its unique blue fire. Fortunately for us Indonesians, as the home of this unique phenomenon, to witness the beauty of this blue fire, simply visit the Ijen Crater and witness its stunning blue flames. The journey is not easy; to reach it, you must travel at night for two hours from Banyuwangi city by jeep or trooper to the Paltuding post. Then, continue with a 1.5-hour climb to the Ijen Crater. Don't worry, the fatigue during this climb is well worth it and will be paid off by the breathtaking view of the blue fire, plus the captivating sunrise from the summit.

 If climbing Ijen Crater isn't challenging enough, continue your adventure to Sukamade, located within Meru Betiri National Park. Sukamade is a natural protected forest in East Java. This location is perfect for adventurous travelers. The route to Sukamade Beach is indeed challenging. Imagine adventuring by jeep or trooper through the forest and limestone, not to mention crossing rivers in a jeep. It's truly an impressive journey. The excitement doesn't stop there; upon arriving at Sukamade Beach, you'll be treated to a quiet and peaceful beach. Don't miss the opportunity to witness female turtles coming ashore at night to lay their eggs. Sukamade is a popular nesting location for female turtles. To protect the eggs from humans and wildlife, a resort in Sukamade has established a hatchery to hatch the turtles they find. Besides the magical Ijen Crater and the thrill of Sukamade,
