In fact, when preparing a trip to this island so hard to choose where to invest our time, with so many possibilities. To guide you, here are some small ideas of five essential things to do in Bali.

Visit the temples
A Bali is known as the island’s 10,000 temples. I do not think anyone has bothered to count them, but there is no doubt that for its 5700 km2 of land in Bali there are many, many temples, each more beautiful. You can start by Pura Besakih, Pura Tanah Lot and Pura Taman Danu to whet your appetite. If you remain hungry for more, the town of Ubud is a veritable outdoor museum of them.

Climb an active volcano
With more than 3,100 meters high, Mount Agung is the highest point in Bali. This volcano, which erupted last in the early 60′s, still active today, but that’s not an impediment to be one of the favorite places to enjoy delicious hiking trails and even nocturnal treks can admire the sunrise from a vantage point.

Attending a dance performance
Balinese dances are just one of many manifestations of their ancestral culture, but certainly one of the most attractive for those coming from outside. While that today we see in the theaters, restaurants and hotels are devoid of religious meaning in which their roots, attend one of these shows can be considered a must. If you know how to choose, you can witness some truly spectacular.

Observe the flora and fauna
Bali is an ideal place to observe nature at its most pure and wild. From quiet walks through rice paddies to bicycle trips to parks such as Barat, where you can see, among other animals, all kinds of birds, deer and monkeys. And speaking of monkeys Monkey Sanctuary in Ubud is a great place to observe them. Of the potential of its coral seabed and better do not talk … it would never end!

Enjoy the beaches
¿White or black sand Arena? Depending on your preferences you will have to go south or north of the island. Kuta, Padang Padang and Dreamland are some of the most popular for surfing and all sorts of water sports, but if you prefer something quieter, do not lose sight of the northern beaches, as Lovina. And if you have time, consider the choice of equipment moves at speed boat to Gili Islands, a paradise!

You see, the list of things to do in Bali is endless. I hope you find these little ideas at least a little guidance to make your first steps, the rest is of your own!
