Kawah Putih Ciwidey During the Rainy Season

Visiting Kawah Putih or White Crater at Ciwidey in the rainy season is almost inevitably to encounter us with rain and mist. Either it was a little rain or a hard rain, it will actually make the weather become colder than the other days when there was no rain presence. Although it was rain and cold visitors from Jakarta or Bandung, two large cities in Java island, still flooded the crater area. We can not get clear vision about the crater in the situation when there was mist or rain in there, therefore it is our luck if we come there the weather is clear and no rain or mist. Umbrella is still useful when we visit the place, although there was also hard wind sometimes came to blow us. Wearing rain coat or leather jacket was also useful to protect our body from wet. One thing which we can not separate although it seems not really interrelated. It is about strawberry and white crater. Strawberry is a unique souvenir from white crater beside sulphur for skin diseases. Why strawberry is also sold in there as a souvenir in the form of fooods or gifts- like cushion? This is because a lot of strawberry farms around Ciwidey cold and highland area and the farmers sell its produce to the tourist market around the White Crater. That's why we see a lot of peoples selling strawberry on the way to or around the White Crater and this is typical of the area.
