Indonesia
Indonesia's archipelago geography means it has many rare species and natural resources. You'll witness Komodo's volcanoes, the volcanic Gili Islands' beach, and Flores' beautiful, volcanic coast. The fully-grown dragons fighting in the ring in the extravaganza would look completely at home in the film "Jurassic Park."
