Merapi Lava Tour with children

The Merapi route should explain eruptions, evacuation, loss and community rebuilding rather than turn disaster into a jeep adventure. Volcanic status, rain, dust, speed and operator practice require checking while memorials and affected property are respected. At Merapi Lava Tour, weather, ground conditions, physical ability and operator practice should determine the actual route. At Merapi Lava Tour, before starting, families should locate an exit, water, toilets and a return point. At Merapi Lava Tour, this preparation supports observation of geology, landscape and human use without turning the activity into an endurance test.
