While getting to Mount Ijen itself may take some time, this 24-hour excursion is worth the long trip. Its blue fire has captivated travelers for some time now, thanks to its compelling natural phenomenon &ndash; the crater&rsquo;s blue flames, which can only be seen at night.

The trip begins with a 4-hour drive to Gilimanuk Port, where our ferry departs. Later on, we arrive at Ketapang, where we will feast on a local dinner to give us energy for the journey. After eating, we will set off for Mount Ijen&rsquo;s blue fire, and arrive an hour and a half later at the base of the mountain.

As we work our way to the top, we may encounter local miners who extract &ldquo;devil&rsquo;s gold&rdquo; from the mountain. Considered a form of cultural heritage tourism, Mount Ijen is one of the last remaining active sulfur mines in the world.

The trip&rsquo;s most interesting part lies ahead. We will be going down to the Ijen Crater, which will take us another 40 minutes. After a rocky path down to the bottom of the crater, we will see from a distance the mesmerizing electric blue fire from the volcano&rsquo;s lava.
