Wanagiri sits astride a high ridgeline which is part of the northern tip of an ancient caldera which now contains two beautiful lakes, Danau Buyan and Danau Tamblingan. The village itself is sparsely populated, comprising small homesteads and farms focused on coffee, clove, flowers, fruit and small animal husbandry. It used to be a sleepy little place until the last 5 years when the area has become better known to domestic and foreign visitors for its cool mountain weather, its lush green forests and fields and the majestic views of the caldera lakes from the top of the ridge. Yet it is not heavily touristed and the atmosphere is relaxed and serene. Wanagiri Village is accessed by a series of small lanes that run down the gentler northern slope of the ridge. These small roads carry mostly pedestrian and small vehicle traffic to the homesteads. A walk down any of these roads is an adventure of discovery of family homes of a variety of styles and sophistication, with friendly and welcoming villagers who are only too happy to stop and say Hi or chat about what they do. One can see gardens of bananas, tangerines, clove, and coffee as well as pens for sheep, goats and cattle.
