Bromo mountains with crater, caldera and savanna landscapes
I. BROMO VOLCANIC SITE
Mount Bromo is a type of volcano that is still active,
meaning that at any time this mountain can erupt spewing lava. Bromo in the
language of the Tengger tribe read Brama, the name is Hindu respect for the main god, namely Brahma,
this mountain has another name, namely the Tengger Caldera,
Located in East Java Province, the foothills of Mount Boromo
are embedded in four regencies, namely: in the north of Pasuruan Regency, in
the south of Lumajang Regency, in the east of Probolinggo Regency, and the west
of Malang Regency. Included in the Bromo Tengger-Semeru National Park area,
Mount Bromo has a height of 2,329m above sea level.
At the top of Mount
Bromo there is a crater, the crater has a stretch from north to south along
800m and a stretch from east to west along 600m. Around the Bromo crater lies a
caldera or sea of sand which covers an area of 10,000,000 M².
Although there are 4 mountains around Mount Bromo, Mount
Bromo is more popular because of its crater and caldera. Four mountains
surround Bromo, namely: Mount Widodaren, Mount Batok, Mount Pananjakan, and
Mount Munggal. Mount Panajakan and Mount Widodaren are known because there is
an observation post to see the view towards Bromo and a place to watch the
sunrise.
1. Bromo Crater
The history of Bromo in the last century is still an active
volcano. Until now Bromo has experienced several eruptions, the eruptions that
occurred in 1974 were the largest. Even though they have the same label as a
volcano, the eruption vomit differs from one mountain to another, such as
Bromo, the results of which are gravel, sand, and ash material. After the 1974
eruption, Bromo's volcanic activity subsided and erupted again in 2011 and last
July 19, 2019, although only a small eruption.
2. Sunrise View
One of the goals of tourists visiting Bromo is to see the
earliest sunrise. If you also come to Bromo to watch the sunrise then you have
to consider the season and the weather is very important so that you get the
view as you expect.
The splendor of the sunrise view can only be seen if the
weather is sunny, if the weather is cloudy or rainy, the sunrise view will be
blocked. There are several spots to be able to watch the sunrise, some of which
are:
A. Panajakan 1
Panajakan is the name of one of the mountains from the group
of mountains included in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Mount
Pananjakan is always crowded with tourists who want to see the structure of
Mount Bromo, especially the view toward the crater. This spot is considered the
best because the position of this mountain is higher than Mount Bromo, the
highest point on Mount Panajakan is 2,770 m above sea level. To reach the
Panajakan 1 observation post, visitors can go through the door in Wonokitri
village, Pasuruan Regency.

2,436 m above sea level. It is named the Seruni observation post because it is

and the peak of Mount Semeru are in one line. In addition to seeing Mount Bromo
