Bali,
the fabled ”island of the Gods”, has been enchanting visitors for centuries
with its rich cultural traditions and spectacular panoramas. From lofty, misty
enshrouded volcanoes and cool mountain lakes down through terraced rice fields
to a golden strand lapped by azure waters, every square inch of Bali offers a
fresh and unforgettable image.
No
less enchanting are its people, some 2.7 million souls whose artistry and piety
are recognized trough out the world. Balinese Hinduism, a complex fusion of Indian
cosmology, Tantric Buddhism and home grown mythology, is the primary faith of
Bali’s inhabitants, and so deeply woven into the fabric of their daily lives
that the line between the spiritual and the material is blurry at best.
The
shoppers among you will find Bali a treasure house of handicrafts and fine
works of art. The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and craftsmen, and
their material creations are imbued with the same sense of wonderment with
which they regard their universe. Stone and woodcarvings, traditional and
modern paintings, and intricately designed jewelry in gold and silver are
readily available in shops and galleries throughout the island.
As
for recreation, there is no shortage of options. Nature walks, horseback
riding, diving, surfing, bunny jumping, and white water rafting await the
adventurous here.
