Bogor
Bogor, Indonesia, is a city south of Jakarta on Java Island set against the volcanic backdrop of Mount Salak. The city's frequent rain is ideal for the thousands of plant species in Kebun Raya Bogor, a venerable botanic garden founded in 1817 by the Dutch colonial government. Its grounds contain the neoclassical landmark Istana Bogor (Bogor Palace) and the Bogor Zoology Museum.
