Taman Nusa - Bali

"I Highly recommend this amazing park. Get away from the shops and be immersed in Indonesian culture. You need minimum 2 hours to see the various cultures represented. The park contains displays and reconstructed traditional houses from 60'different regions of Indonesia. All are full size and showcase the various house designs from different islands. The traditional dance and music performances together with craft displays provide a great perspective on the variety that comprises Indonesian cultures. The staff are all very welcoming. Our guide was a fount of knowledge."
