discovering jatiluwih: more than just terraces | Bali Unveiled #11

Om Swastiastu, tiang Mika. As a blend of Indo-French heritage, I was fortunate to grow up immersed in the vibrant culture of Bali. While my roots anchor me to the traditions and untold stories of this island, my dual background has sharpened my perspective, allowing me to view Bali both as a local and an outsider. In this series, I don't just guide you through Bali; I share the Bali that has shaped me, offering insights only a native with a touch of foreign curiosity can provide.

Dive into the heart of Bali with a journey to Jatiluwih, one of the island's most prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Beyond its breathtaking terraced rice fields lies a deep cultural significance, representing the age-old 'subak' system, a communal water management tradition unique to Bali. Join us as we uncover the history, importance, and unmatched beauty of this Balinese gem, offering a genuine encounter away from the typical tourist trails.
