One of the most famous tourism attraction in Banyuwangi is baluran national park….Baluran National Park is located in Situbondo Regency, East Java, Indonesia. It has a relatively dry climate and mainly consists of savanna (40%), as well as lowland forests, mangrove forests and hills, with Mount Baluran (1,247m) . The area has been protected since 1928, first initiated by the Dutch hunter A.H. Loedeboer. In 1937 it was declared a wildlife refuge by the Dutch colonial government.In 1980 the area was declared a national park. . There are not many animals in here. U can see some monkeys and be careful while you are bringing food as the monkeys will directly grab it from your hands….it happened to me…i wanna throw away the paper bag of Mcdonald and the monkey thought there’s some food…so it directly grabbed from my hand and made me shock😝 . There’s a tree which is given name. They called it raisa tree… raisa is one of the famous singer in Indonesia. They called it raisa tree as that singer has ever had to e video clip in this area . The best time to visit here is around 15:30 or 16:00 so the weather will be nice….#banyuwangitrip #balurannationalpark #tamannasionalbaluran
