Bromo Riders

When the sun shines “the sea of sand” in the Tengger massif, displaying the Mount Bromo’s smoke, East Java riders prepare for the race. Many of them live in villages on the slopes of the volcano, others have a simple accommodation in the huts inside the caldera. Organised jeep tours and rumbling modern bikes raise a cloud of ash that surrounds them, but they don’t care. Gallop the horses, covering his face with a scarf, looking for a small daily gain. Horses, in fact, carry tourists to the base of Bromo’s slopes to facilitate the climb to the top. It 'a precarious job, linked to the flow of visitors inside the volcano crater. But it's the only job they know and they do for generations. And so every cloud of dust, a Bromo rider arrives, ready to smile and to make even more unique and unforgettable your journey into Hindu God Brahma sacred land.
