Borobudur is one of the most famous Buddhist ruins in the world
and Indonesia’s single most visited tourist attraction. This ancient
Buddhist monument is located on an elevated plain, called Kedu Plain,
between the Progo river, the twin volcanoes of Sundoro-Sumbing and the
twin volcanoes of Merbabu-Merapi, of which Merapi is one of the most
active volcanoes in Indonesia. The site is in central Java, about 40km
(25 miles) northwest of the city of Yogyakarta in Indonesia.
