Different From Usually

Tired of just plain tourist attractions. Want to have a different experience than usual, vacationing in the desert is definitely more exciting.

Yes, desert, no need to go all the way overseas. In Indonesia there is a desert which is located in the middle of the city.

Mexico Park in the Bogor Botanical Gardens is a desert in the center of the city. It is called that, because it contains only desert plants, without any shady trees.

So, the concept is that part of the garden is left open and covered in gravel and rocks typical of the desert.

According to the manager, namely LIPI, the park which was left ‘barren’ was to provide natural habitat for various types of succulent plants.

What does a succulent look like? Based on the explanation on Wikipedia which has been edited by experts, succulent plants are types of plants that can withstand drought conditions.

The original habitat of this type of plant is indeed in dry and arid areas. Because the succulents have water reserves in their stems, to survive.

Origin of the name

Why is it called a Mexican garden when it is located in the Bogor Botanical Gardens. Meanwhile, Bogor Botanical Gardens itself is a nature reserve managed by the Indonesian government.

When viewed from a geographical point of view, Mexico is not much different from Indonesia. It has mountain ranges and active volcanoes.

In addition, there are only two seasons, the same as Indonesia, namely hot and rainy.

Similar to Indonesia, Mexico also has a desert. Well, this desert in Mexico turns out to have biodiversity.

This is where LIPI is likely to manage the Bogor botanical gardens, interested in collecting Mexican natural collections, especially its desert plants.

Therefore, LIPI has specially designed the original habitat which is made as closely as possible to the desert conditions in its home country.

Several types of desert plants in Mexico are in this garden, for example yucca, agave, cactus, and others.

Natural beauty

It has been mentioned earlier that the geographic conditions of the two countries are almost similar. However, make no mistake, both Mexico and Indonesia actually have natural attractions that are both beautiful and very fitting spot photo selfie.

In Mexico, there is a historical city called San Luis Potosi or more commonly known as SLP, so named because the area was formerly a gold and silver mining area.

Now the city of SLP has developed into an industrial city, but in this city the old and historic buildings are still well preserved, as if they don’t want to forget history.

If in Indonesia it is probably almost the same as the city of Yogyakarta or Semarang, where the buildings that bear witness to the history of the struggle of the Indonesian nation are still well preserved.

Another similarity is that they both have a very interesting variety of tourist objects. He cried again, some of them are the same kind as spot underwater sculpture.

Countries that have just entered the competition Gold Cup against Jamaica it has an underwater sculpture tourist destination in the Punta Marine Park Cancun.

The statues that are made and placed on the seabed are not only made for tourist purposes, but also function as artificial coral reefs.

A sculptor from England Jason de Caires Taylor presents 400 sculptures on the seabed for the project it names as The Silent Evolution.

Because it also functions as an artificial coral reef, of course the ecosystem and the preservation of marine habitats will be preserved and able to prevent damage to natural coral reefs in this marine park.

Indonesia also has a similar tourist attraction, a display of underwater sculptures in the Pemuteran waters, West Bali.

This tourist spot is generally for the purpose snorkeling and dive. When diving, you will find as many as 33 statues of gods. Among them are statues of Lord Vishnu, Dewi Sri, and others in God’s Garden.

Apart from underwater sculptures, there are also coral reefs biorock, a marine tourism place in Pemuteran which won an award from UNESCO in 2012 at Rio De Janeiro as the largest category of coral reef builders in the world.

Because of the busy tourist visits diving or snorkeling in Pemuteran, it has improved the economy for local residents.

Coupled with the increasing number of hotel developments to increase good quality accommodation during a vacation in Pemuteran.

So, those are some of the similarities between Mexico and Indonesia in terms of tourist destinations.

Indeed, it seems very interesting for us Indonesians to be able to vacation abroad.

However, if in our own country everything is available and we just have to enjoy it, why not explore in our beautiful country.

Moreover, it is more complete in terms of tourist destinations, accommodation, facilities provided. The price offered also has a certain range, depending on budget we.

With budget minimalism, but the results of a luxurious vacation can also make you happy andrefresh brain fatigue.
