TAMAN WISATA ALAM ANGKE KAPUK

Today I had family time at this nature mangrove site on Pantai Indah Kapuk area. The position is around 1 kilometre from Waterbom Pantai Indah Kapuk on North Jakarta, right behind Buddha Tzu Chi.
The area of this mangrove is quite big. You can go here by bike, motorcycle and car. There are none public transport to reach this place. The ticket is quite cheap, IDR25.000 for adult, IDR 10.000 for children, IDR 5.000 for motorcycle and IDR 15.000 for car. On of the cheap recreation spot in town.

View steps the front gate, you will found a mosque for muslims whose want to pray to their god then you will find the parking area and a checking point. Here, they will check your tickets, bags and belongings because we are prohibited to bring profesional camera, mineral bottled water and snacks then you can see a big map of the park and the available programs that the park provide for the visitors.

The mangrove itself is quite spacious, and
because we are in the mangrove so most of the area are like a little lake with plants and trees even it surrounding the bridges. The area is quite big so they build some bridges and connector to allow us to walk around the area, most of the bridges are made of wood and bamboo but becareful because some parts of the bridges are broken.

They have little cabin up to the big one to be lease for weekend or other occasions, they also have one big meeting hall to be rented for office meeting or else, complete with soundsystem.
They have a special program to planting the mangrove for schools or companies to teach them how to love our nature. They also have many nature activities and programs that you will find in the information center.
In the canteen area, you will find snacks, drinks and food after you walking around the mangrove.

There are a watch tower around 15 meters, it quite a chalenge to reach the top level of the tower but all will be paid off when you reach it. I can see all around the mangrove and all area between and feel the wind blows from those height is really a moment that equal with the trouble.
Please watch your steps while climbing or going down from the tower because some of the steps are quite wide between them.

They also have boats to explore the mangrove through the water. The booth you can find near the canteen area.

That's it... The wonderful natural exploring mangrove and prepare your physical before you visit this site because the route is quite long and challenging. Have fun...
