Kawah Putih Ciwidey : Beautiful White Crater Lake

Kawah Putih (English : white crater) Ciwidey located in approximately 46 km southern Bandung city, West Java, Indonesia. It formed by the active volcano of Mount Patuha, situated 2,343 meters above sea level. This crater was formed between the 10th to 12th centuries by the eruption of Mount Patuha.

Kawah Putih Ciwidey seems looks like a lake surrounded by mountains. The water is warm and has a high sulfur content, and the sunshine frequently change the color of the water from milky white into bluish green. But commonly the water colored white with a high volume smoking haze above land surface. Beside the crater, sand and stone around it also dominated in white, that's why it named with Kawah Putih (white crater). It's a stunning natural attraction.

At Kawah Putih, you can also find a number of stalls selling bandrek, a traditional Sundanese beverage made from ginger and palm brown sugar. This beverage is highly suitable for cold weather, as drinking bandrek will warm your body.
