About this experience
Key stops along the route include the Mini Museum Sisa Hartaku — a preserved house engulfed by the 2010 eruption, now serving as a poignant museum. You will also visit the Alien Rock (a volcanic rock formation that resembles a face), the Bunker survival shelter, and the Water Attraction where jeeps navigate through a river stream. The longer track includes Petilasan Mbah Marijan — the shrine of the legendary guardian of Merapi who famously refused to evacuate during the 2010 eruption.
