Indonesia is a vast archipelago with thousands of islands, of which six hundred are populated, and it is the fourth most populous country in the world. Located in south east Asia, it has borders with Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and and East Timor. Its capital is Jakarta which lies on the island of Java. For the most part Indonesia lies along the equator and has a tropical monsoon climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. April to October is the dry season and November to March is the wet. It is always warm unless you plan to take a trip to the mountains. With mountains and forests, rivers and lakes, the islands support a great biodiversity with a wealth of flora and fauna. Lying on the edges of tectonic plates, it is a land that suffers more than its fair share of earthquakes and, with over a hundred active volcanoes, volcanic eruptions. However, it also has a good share of wonderful beaches and it is to these that western visitors flock. The islands are great for those seeking adventure in the hills and mountains, as well as for golfers and water sports enthusiasts.
