#Bali travel guide for first timers 2018 - Bali is located in the center of the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands, Java and Lombok. But for the Balinese, their island is the center of the spiritual universe. Bali has a population of around 4 million and is home to the Hindu community in Indonesia. Balinese practice The Tri Hita Karana concept that seeks to balance the worlds of man, nature and spirit. This is the feeling of harmony that makes Bali more than a physical destination, But the mood is complete.

Most visitors are attracted to the south of Bali, an area with incredible beaches and world-class surfing. Kuta was discovered by the children of flowers and surfers in 1960. A brief own from the Bali Worldwide Flight terminal, famous for its nightlife and shopping, it is hard to imagine that it was a quiet fishing village. However, the half-moon-shaped cotta beach still retains a magical quality, casting a shadow over sun lovers from around the world. From Kuta, take your easel and follow the coast to the north, to the beaches of Legian, Sadeen, Seminyak, Where things really soften.

Pass from Seminyak Arena to Petitengit Temple. The temple was built centuries ago, around a simple sanctuary built to appease the annoying lives that lurk in the area. Today, Seminyak is a quiet place and famous for its excellent restaurants and boutiques. I have come a long way from a few days ago to the destination of the backpacker.

Head south from Kuta to the Phuket Peninsula, where you will find the luxurious hotel complex in Nusa Dua, synonymous with isolation and elegance. On the western side from the peninsula is one of the most beautiful beaches in Bali, Jimbaran. At the end of the day, drag a chair in a seafood restaurant and enjoy an incredible view, where the gods of Bali throw paint to the sky. Little further south, standing out in the Java Sea is the rock at the end of the territory ~ Uluwatu. Follow the cliff top to one of the most important temples in Bali, then take your board and paddle in the traditional atmosphere of Uluwatu.

Discover more Bali is a breeze. Rent a car with the driver all day, or if you want to rent a motorcycle more. Not far from the island's capital, Denpasar, is the Bali Bird Park, a sanctuary for more than 1,000 birds from all over Indonesia and beyond. Near the Bali Zoo, see Bali from the top, at the back of the Sumatra Philharmonic. But it is higher, in the hills, where the true spirit of Bali awaits.

A few hours drive from the cultural capital of Denpasar, Ubud. Here the streets are full of stalls and galleries that sell the works of local artisans. To deepen your appreciation of the art of ballet, spend a few hours at the museums of Nika Art and Puri Lokisan. Or take a tour through a beautiful private collection of the Arma Museum.

Do not miss the picturesque painter Antonio Blanco ~ The Dali of Bali ~ which was a work of life in feminine form. Ubud is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bali, but it is only a few steps away. You'll find some of Ubud's most famous residents under the cool umbrella of the Holy Monkey Forest.

A few kilometers away, I went through the mouth of a demon to the elephant caves for Goa Gajah. Ubud is surrounded by the rural heart of Bali, where life has not changed for centuries, except for motorcycles. With high altitude, the highlands provide a peaceful refuge. Here, among the volcanic fog of the mountain in Kintamani and beyond, reside the most revered goddesses of the island. Below, await the rest of Bali, as well as nearby treasures such as the Gilex Islands in Lombok. Indonesia has thousands of islands to explore. But some others in this archipelago, or in the rest of the world, may correspond to the culture, natural beauty and spirit of Bali.
