Learn More about Bogor

Bogor is a city in Indonesia's West Java province known for its botanical gardens. Its population is just over 1 million. The city has the status of a kota. Bogor is also the name of the Bogor kabupaten in which the city is located. Its capital is Cibinong.
The city of Bogor lies in the middle of the kabupaten. It is surrounded by extinct volcanoes such as Gede and Salak. Once known as "Buitenzorg" which means "care free", Bogor is a pleasant town, and the home of the Iindonesia Agricultural University and the Zoological Museum, where the last stuffed rhinoceros found in the Bandung Plateau is displayed.

From Bogor, the road climbs past picturesque mountain stations all the way to Puncak, or the Peak. The Safari Park is located on this beautiful but windy route. Also beyond Puncak before reaching Cipanas one can find the Cibodas Park just at the foot of Mount Gede-Pangrango, intended for the study of temperate plants, where Java coffee was originally grown. Today, Bogor is a favourite place to spend weekends and short breaks.
Bogor is famous for its "Asinan", the sour salads of fresh fruits and vegetables, and also for its hot apple and macaroni pies.
