Activities in the neighborhood

There are quite a lot of possibilities to pass your spare time. Next to the hotel you find one of the two coffee factories that are established at the Ijen Plateau. The coffee plantation came into existence just before the end of the nineteenth century. You can get a very interesting tour through the factory, just ask the staff of Catimor Homestay. It will cost you Rp. 15,000.
If you follow the signs in front of the homestay, it is a short walk to the waterfall and hot spring. For both the entrance fee is Rp. 2,000. Before you reach the hot spring you will find left of the road a shelter with civets (luwak). These animals produce the coffee luwak. A few meters further down you can enter the garden where young coffee plants are grown and experiments are carried out. These are used to provide the plantation with new material. Just after this garden the waterfall is welcoming you.
