Many people argue that Bali is the most famous paradise in Indonesia. For that reason, tourists expand Bali with all of the beauty of it. On the other hand, Traveler apparently has discovered that Sumatera has many hidden paradise. For information, Sumatera is one the largest island in Indonesia. Separated by sunda strait, Sumatera is located in the west of Indonesia's territory. Due to the fact that Sumatera has tropical rainforest, but Sumatera also has many rare places.

This place was appeared because the last eruption of the volcano. Although this place is still not too well-known, but this place has more than 20 spots amazing spots for diver.

2. Kampar River, Riau

But,now, Bono wave is the one which is always visited by tourists. This phenomenon are attracted the surfers around the world. Steve king was able to be a conqueror.
