Ceking Rice Terrace
@Waanderblog
After your walk, you can try different types of coffee in the area. Thanks to Bali's volcanic soil and tropical climate, the island is known for its coffee. Here, you’ll see locals preparing and roasting coffee beans in earthen vessels. One of the most famous types is Kopi Luwak, made from beans that have been eaten by a civet (an animal similar to a cat). Although the process may seem unusual—the beans are collected from the animal's droppings—this coffee is famous for its smooth taste and is one of the most exclusive and expensive coffees in the world.

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
@Waanderblog
In the afternoon, visit the Sacred Monkey Forest, an exciting experience suitable only for the brave. This sanctuary is home to over 600 macaques. In Balinese culture, monkeys are considered spiritual guides and protectors of the temple, playing an important role in local mythology due to their connection with the gods. Here, you'll have the opportunity to interact directly with the monkeys. While they are usually friendly, it's important to be cautious not to disturb them in their habitat and keep an eye on your belongings, as the monkeys sometimes take items in exchange for something you offer them. In the past, visitors could bring food to feed them, but now the caretakers sell special food for this purpose, allowing you to also capture that classic selfie with the monkeys.

Kecak Dance Amphitheater Uluwatu Temple

Attend a Kecak fire dance performance, one of Bali's most popular cultural experiences. This dance portrays a scene from the Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic, and is accompanied by a unique soundtrack created by male singers chanting “chak-a-chak-a-chak” in unison as they move and turn in circles. The absence of musical instruments makes the sound even more powerful.
