Desa Wisata Kalibiru
Yogyakarta Destination
Kalibiru is the newest sensation from Yogyakarta’s vast repertoire of tourist attractions: it is basically a hiking and climbing path filled on certain spots with artificial raised platform where—if you dare—you can climb onto and take a picture with vast, mountainous landscape of Yogyakarta as the background. This hot new sensation can be visited through a one hour journey with car from Yogyakarta—it is recommended that you rent a vehicle with a driver that knows how to drive because the entry to the location can be difficult to trek, especially for inexperienced drivers.
