Not far from Ubud, there are villages where serenity and authenticity invite us to share in the richness of everyday Indonesian life. Welcomed by a Balinese family, we set off to meet the inhabitants of their villages. As we stroll through rice paddies and plantations, we observe how rice is grown. In a relaxed atmosphere, we learn how to make coconut oil, ideal for cooking and massages. We are invited to discover the traditional cuisine prepared over a wood fire, and enjoy a home-made coffee.
