Upon arrival in Jatiluwih, we were well received with a cup of coffee and fried banana. Then the bike ride started with guide Nana. He taught us about the process of growing rice. We also saw many different fruits and plants along the way. Nana guided us very well during the 17 km long bike ride. Upon arrival, we ate delicious nasi goreng. Katut brought us back to the hotel safely. I can definitely recommend this trip.”
