Blawan Waterfall & Hot Spring
Air Terjun & Kawah Blawan
A waterfall and natural hot spring within an old Dutch coffee estate on the Ijen plateau. It is a classic stopping point on the western route up Ijen from Bondowoso.
Blawan lies within an Arabica coffee estate on the Ijen plateau, planted in the Dutch colonial period. It is still run by a state plantation company. Visitors can tour the coffee processing plant and buy Ijen coffee. The Blawan Waterfall falls from a gorge in the grounds, and nearby are sulphur-rich hot spring pools, ideal for relaxing after the night climb of Ijen. The estate also has a colonial-style guesthouse, which is often used as an overnight stop on the western Ijen route. It is about 1 hour's drive from the Ijen trailhead. Admission is low.
