“Tlatar” The Beautiful Sketch of God Painting Wandering the beautiful place always make me feel enchanted. There are many beautiful place that God has given for us to be used and developed as best as possible. I remember one interesting place and always makes me want to visit it for the umpteenth time. The one of the beautiful place that I’ve ever visitted is Tlatar. ETASIA Tlatar is an abbreviation of “Ekowisata Taman Air Indonesia” (Ecotourism Indonesian Water Park) or we also usually call with Umbul Tlatar is the one of famous family recreation place in Boyolali. Etasia is an artificial park that combining natural resources of Merbabu slopes with modern alternative society tourism. This place occupies an area of 7 hectares and it’s more special because there are artesian springs which are pumped from layers of volcanic rocks and spraying water at the rate of 650 liters / sec. The beauty of this place has been hipnotized me with all facilities and beautiful scenery in it. As a tourism based on environment and education, Etasia has provided a variety of rides, so visitors can get additional value in educational learning (especially for children) besides they merely tourism. Etasia also provide a natural river with a maximum depth about 30cm and 50 meters long. So, the children can be learn about nature while playing and certainly save for them. This atmosphere are rare to find in a big city. It is very appropriate destination place when holidays come. The smell of fresh air has wafted away before entering the place, and the gurgling sound of water is audible when entering this area. So we will never disappointed if come there. Umbul Tlatar is located in the Village Kebon Bimo, Boyolali regency about 5-6 km from the city center Boyolali and can be reached by public
