📣 Notas para viajeros

Indonesia is a vast, diverse archipelago of approximately 17,000 islands located between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is known for its natural beauty, including rainforests, and features major tourist destinations like Bali, alongside exploration opportunities across 6,000 inhabited islands.

• The country is highly multicultural, with many localized religious festivals.
• Most Indonesians observe a day off for public holidays, regardless of their specific religion.
• Be aware of major festivals like Chinese New Year (mid-January to mid-February) and Nyepi (Hindu New Year in March, involving infrastructure shutdowns in Bali).
• When eating, use only your right hand. If eating with hands, use fingers to collect food and dip it in sauces. In formal settings, cutlery (chopsticks, forks, spoons) are provided and preferred. Eating quickly is considered polite.
