Millions of visitors flock to this resplendent island each year; however, few take time to look past the sugar-white beaches and remote getaways. The Island of the Gods is so much more. With a history that dates from at least 2,000 B.C., Bali has a rich story — one filled with tales about deep-rooted spirituality, time-honored traditions, varied forms of artistic expression, immense gratitude, and inspiring contentedness — and myriad ways to share it: treasured temples, impressive museums, bustling artisan centers and, most notably, a warm, welcoming people. Ubud, the island’s cultural capital, offers the perfect base from which to explore this lush, green island and delve into life on Bali. This dynamic yet tranquil region offers an unparalleled sense of well-being, and visitors cannot help but lose themselves in a quieter way of life that is the essence of an authentic Balinese experience. Active Travel This program is moderately paced with a good balance of included activities and excursions and time to explore on your own. Travelers should be physically fit, able to walk distances of up to three miles and navigate stairs, hills and uneven terrain. Our International Explorations programs are not for the average tourist. They are designed to give curious travelers an extended, customizable experience abroad. With an itinerary that takes you to must-see sites as well as offthe-beaten path treasures, you can enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime introduction to The Art of Living in unparalleled destinations. These unique journeys are limited to 28 travelers and feature three weeks’ deluxe apartment-style accommodations with modern amenities. | UNESCO | The Cultural Landscape of Bali Provence is the UNESCO World Heritage site featured on this program. Bali is a haven for the arts and its myriad forms. Nearly everywhere you look, artisans are weaving gorgeous baskets, carving intricate woodwork or creating colorful batik. However, Balinese dancing will leave the most lasting impression. Often divided into sacred (“wali”) or entertainment (“bebalihan”) genres, Balinese dances can be taught in professional dance schools or theater companies or at home, where mothers often teach their young children some of the classic movements. Some of the most popular dances include Pendet, a sacred dance performed by females as a welcoming or purifying prelude to ceremonies or other events; Legong, perhaps the most recognizable sacred dance, during which a couple of women or girls dress in colorful costumes and perform beautiful movements, primarily with the face, fingers and feet; Barong, an entertainment dance that symbolizes the fight between good and evil; and Kecak, an impressive performance traditionally done about sunset by a large group of men depicting the story of Ramayana through simple movements and chanting.
