The official currency of Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). 🇮🇩💲
The notes feature national heroes and iconic symbols, representing the rich heritage of Indonesia. With denominations ranging from thousands to millions, it's a unique currency experience! 🌟💵

Here's the deal with the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)! Cash is king, especially for small transactions, while ATMs are scattered across cities and towns. Credit cards work in larger places, but don't rely on them everywhere. 🏦💳

| How long are the travels within Indonesia ? |

Traveling through the 15th largest country globally, Indonesia, is an adventure that demands a bit of effort when it comes to transportation. Whether it's by plane, mini-bus, train or boat, allowing for some downtime during travel is essential, given that teleportation is still not a thing in 2023 😂.

The longest travel time can reach up to 4.5 hours, with Sumatra offering more extended journeys to cover a broader area compared to Bali or Flores. This ensures your clients can immerse themselves in the diverse landscapes, from the lush jungles of Sumatra to the bustling cities of Java, providing a comprehensive glimpse into Indonesia's cultural and environmental richness.
