Nglanggeran Village, Patuk District, Gunung Kidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, is home to Kawasan Ekowisata Gunung Api Purba (the Ancient Volcano Ecotourism Area), a fascinating attraction for travelers. The Ancient Volcano Ecotourism Area offers stunning natural scenery, such as rocky peaks of andesite, reservoirs of fruit orchards, and waterfalls that appear in certain seasons. This area also has a high historical and geological significance, because it is the result of an ancient volcanic eruption that has been dormant for millions of years.
The Ancient Volcano Ecotourism Area is ideal for tourists who love adventure, sports and education. Visitors can hike to the top of this ancient volcano, but they have to be careful because the path to the top can be steep and slippery at times. From the top of the volcano you can see Embung Nglanggeran, which is also a nice place to visit.
