Sumatra: ascent of the Gunung Tujuh volcano

Mt Tujuh is located in the far west of Jambi Province in Sumatra, and dominates a caldera covered by the "seven mountains" lake, which is exactly the number of peaks surrounding it.

At the top of this ancient volcano (which means "seven" in Indonesian), you will have the chance to admire a breathtaking panorama, from which emerges the highest volcano in Indonesia - Kerinci, and, after the effort, you will be happy to camp at the edge of the peaceful lake, where nature takes on its full meaning.
