A quick visit to some of the main the cultural centres of Bali on its southernmost tip to experience traditional Balinese dances.

The Bukit Peninsula forms a small tip at the southern end of the island of Bali. It is rugged and dry and pre-tourist development this was a real backwater of Bali. Now its a place for millionaries with upscale hotel development, and place of surfers at remote beaches. But it is also a place of culture - and thats why visited it. See our experience of Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park and Kecak Fire Dances at Uluwatu in the mini-chapter below!
