I will start talking about their culture, Bali is rich in culture and will show it to you in every corner you visit, you will learn so much from them, they are good people, calm, happy and faithful believers. They respect so much their belief that once you are there you would respect it too, an example of them is this ritual that Im showing in the picture, which is known as Pura Tirta Empul: in English Purification Ritual. I heard that if you do it even once, you are already purified for the rest of your life. Basically what this is a gigantic pool that contains different fountains. When you start the ritual you would have to do three things, First you would have to say "om" three times and put your hands together as we do to pray on your front, then you will have take water from the fountain and wash your face, follow with drinking or rinsing our mouth with the purified water. Finally, place your head under the fountain and do the same in the rest of the fountains. It is believed that doing this will result in a healing act thanks to the magical waters.
The temples of Bali,
Previously I spoke about their culture, specifically about a ritual, now I will like to talk a little more about their beliefs and their Gods. In Bali there are many temples around 20 thousands of them, Mentioning a few of them I can name Pura Tanah, Ulu Watu, Taman Ayu, etc... Bali is characteristic for following the religion of Hinduism, which is interesting given that the country, Indonesia, practices the Muslim religion. Something that I could notice in my trip was the daily offerings. Since we had the opportunity we asked our driver about it and he told us that it is a vital part in daily practice, these are formed with flowers, food, leaves, coins and incense and they do it as a way of thanking . Each temple has a different meaning. The Balinese generally go there looking for protection and improvement. Balinese people are really spiritual, tolerant and they really respect their beliefs.

The famous swings of Bali, the truth is that this complex is beautiful and exciting, where you put your adrenaline to test, Also you will find beautiful nests that are excellent for taking good photos. Although this complex is ideal to visit, there are swings and nests around the island that you're going to be able to find on your way to the different places in the Island. This complex is called Bali Swing and you can make the reservation online for $ 10 which is the cost of the park entrance, for those who do not have professional cameras they provide the service of the photoshoot.
Surely you have heard about the famous flower baths or Balinese massages. Bali is famous for this, the prices of massages are so cheap that it's impossible to resist. When you visit Bali you will realize that in every corner they offer massages. For full services massages they have prices up to USD $ 7, of course you will find cheaper than that, but it is better to get quality services and in Bali you can get it for less than 10 dollars which is not bad. I've also heard different people and bloggers mention that they have had disastrous experiences with cheap massages so I want to recommend that before going to a spa check the reviews on google. According to recommendations, I have included in my lists the Kimberly Spa, Massaji Bali and Bali Refresh Spa.

If you are a sunset lover Bali is the ideal place for you, Bali has numerous beaches and clubs where you can go to taste delicious drinks and exquisite Balinese food with one of the best sunsets in the world, some beaches I must mention are Tengal Wangi Beach, Seminyak Beach, Kuta Beach and Petitenget Beach. Also would have to mention the Temples like Uluwatu, Tanah Lot Temple and Puru Ulun Danu Bratan where you can appreciate beautiful sunsets too.
Finally, visiting Bali has been one of the best experiences of my life, I will never stop recommending it because it is worth every second you last on the plane when you travel from America. Do not forget to include Bali in your bucket lists. Its a destination you must go!.
