(to get to where other attractions are charged extra). Pananjakan this is a famous viewpoint in Bromo. from here you can see Mount Bromo and the sea of ​​sand around it.

In addition there is still a sea of ​​sand used in the filming of 'Pasir Berbisik', starring Dian Sastro and Christine Hakim. somehow called sand whisper, probably because if we close the ears on the sand there will be a whisper that occurs due to the wind. about 45 minutes drive to Probolinggo, you can visit Madakaripura waterfall, a waterfall with thick historical feel Majapahit is a pity to miss if you have more time in Bromo.

Itinerary Suggestion:
if you want to see the sunrise at Bromo should get up early when going to Pananjakan, because it will be a lot of Jeep who take other tourists, so the more morning we come the road to the location not too far and still can find a place to sit to see the sunrise. that time I reached Pananjakan around 4.30 and itupun was a bit late because it was crowded.

1. Weather

When I visited, the weather conditions in Bromo was rather cloudy and had drizzle but not heavy rain. the time was very unfortunate when I was there again cloudy weather so the sun was somewhat covered with clouds.
