Bali Map

A Brief Description
The island of Bali is part of the Republic of
Indonesia, the largest archipelago in the world with over 18,000 islands.
A popular tourist destination known for its natural attractions, perfect climate and relaxed atmosphere, this island of flowers, temples and friendly people is considered a real gem by travelers worldwide.
This tropical island is one of the most stunning, and yet, now dangerous destinations on the planet. Recent terrorism attacks here and in other areas of Indonesia have stifled western tourism rather dramatically.
