Situated at Bali’s Bukit Peninsula not far off from Uluwatu, Garuda Wisnu Kencana is a 240-hectare cultural complex used as a venue for music festivals, conferences, exhibitions, and other cultural performances, depending on the time of year.
Shop handcrafted goods at the souvenir stores, enjoy traditional dances such as Kecak and Joged Bumbung, ride a Segway while reveling in its picturesque surroundings, dine lavishly at its Beranda Restaurant, or dress up in traditional Balinese costumes and have your photos taken.
Aside the aforementioned activities, the main highlight of the iconic landmark is its spectacular Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue towering at a height of over 120 metres, making it one of the tallest monumental statues around the globe.
Made of copper and brass, the statue depicts the Hindu God Wisnu resting atop the mythical eagle, Garuda, which is also the national emblem of Indonesia. The massive statue took a whopping 28 years to complete due to political unrest in the country.
