Jakarta Hidden Tours
Description
Take a tour of Galur, the hidden area of Jakarta.
Around 65% of the inhabitants of Jakarta live in slum areas. Although poor financially these people are strong survivors.
Many people make a living in home industries like sowing or tofu factory’s, or even transportation like motorbike taxi’s and the 3 wheel bajaj’s.
This is called the “informal sector” and it’s the main way of making a living in Galur, the area where the tour is planned.
We will see and feel how neighbors work and live together. From the outside it looks like a jungle, but from the inside we see the unique infrastructure.
This will be your experience of a lifetime!
Your pleasure and your safety is our duty.
Galur is the same area where two World Cinema documentaries have been shot “the Eye of the Day” and “Shape of the Moon” which won the World Cinema award at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival in the U.S.A
The leading character of those two films is Bakti. He will be your tour guide.
Maximum 4 people.
