Breathe in the beauty of breathtaking rice terraces, where crops and orchards form a verdant collage nestled in a wild jungle.
Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Jatiluwih rice terrace is great to explore on two wheels or by foot. There are impressive waterfalls (like the one in Gitgit down in the valley), crystal-clear lakes, and many scenic spots from which to view the utmost indescribably beautiful sunsets. Before immersing yourself in all this tropical beauty and peace, don’t forget to pack the Spritz Mist Glow Three-piece Limited Collection by Mario Badescu. These facial sprays contain botanical ingredients to replenish your skin, leaving it dewy and glowing wherever you go and whenever you wish. Another perfect travel companion to protect you from the tropical sun is Burberry’s Tweed Check Bucket Hat—just remember to hold on to it so it doesn’t fly away on the scooter!
