Take a stroll through the organic and ornamental gardens of Vila Botani and inhale the fresh country air. You may catch the beguiling song of the cuckoos or the cry of a Javan hawk eagle soaring overhead. Climb up through the arboretum to watch the mist roll in from the mountain and wind around the trees. As the day draws to a close and the sun sinks down into a fiery, orange sky, listen closely to the hidden tonggerets (a species of cicada) rattling in the branches above you.
