With five main islands and 30 smaller archipelagos are home to the majority of the population. The main islands are Sumatra, Jawa (Java), Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes), and Papua (west Papua). And several large archipelagos which have been known to the world, like Bali & Nusa Tenggara, Maluku (Moluccas) and Bangka Belitung.

About The Author
For almost 10 years, I worked on a multimedia company in Jakarta, where many of our projects are making a profile of a region in Indonesia. As a scriptwriter, I first explore the potential areas that deserve to be lifted into the profile. And then join the team to participate in taking pictures and video. From there, I met many people from different ethnic, learned to recognize a variety of unique cultures, 'see & visit' the exotic beauty of Indonesian nature and diversity of flora & fauna.
I also liked the activities of fishing and adventure rider motorcycle, and from these two activities, I also have had the same experience. And this is what I want to share with readers of this blog, a photo journal which I called EquaTropica - for the equator and tropical - The Exotic destination in Indonesian Archipelago. I will share about exotic places, cultural diversity, diversity of flora & fauna and many related articles.
I will continue to update this blog, because there will be many pictures you will see and interesting articles for your reading. I hope you find the blog enjoyable and perhaps useful for your own travel planning.
