Bali with private driver: Ubud, Candidasa & Lovina

A little further on, in Klungkung, the guide will show you the Kerta Gosa, the former courthouse. Finally, you'll head to Tenganan to meet the Bali Aga, descendants of Bali's original inhabitants. This indigenous people of the island still practice their ancestral religion. Their rainforest habitat is entirely surrounded by a wall, giving you the impression of entering a fortress. On Bali's east coast, you'll discover the tropical resort of Candidasa. This former fishing village is famous for its blue lagoon. With its relaxed atmosphere, friendly locals and long sandy beaches, Candidasa feels like a little piece of paradise on earth.
