Mount Bromo (Indonesian: Gunung Bromo), is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known.
The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to
the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of
Brahma, the Hindu creator god.

Mount Bromo sits in the middle of a vast plain called the "Sea of Sand" (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian:  
Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby
 mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but
it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan
 (2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be
reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.

Depending on the degree of volcanic activity, the Indonesian Centre for Vulcanology and Disaster Hazard
Mitigation sometimes issues warnings against visiting Mount Bromo.
