What makes Mt. Bromo "one of the most beautiful sight on earth (as according to most guidebooks) is its multiple peaks instead of just a single volcano. By the way, the highest peak by the background with smoke billowing out is Mt. Semeru. It can be climbed but only by the pros. *Mt. Bromo is the mythical home of Joko Segger, the most important guardian deity of this place. Incidentally, the Hindu population here holds a ceremony during the last month of their calendar so as to make a ritual offering to this ancestoral spirit. Indeed, it is important to please the spirit or else!
