Ever feel bored with the same routine? Wake up , work , traffic , sleep , repeat.. Well , this time I want to tell you about my little escape from the crowded Jakarta to a place that... to be honest , I didn't expect it to be that comfortable : Sentul Cultural Park. Before you think “Ah , just another park”, hold on.. Because this place is not just a park..There's something here that makes me want to come back again - and maybe you will too after reading this..
• 🚗 Travel: From Traffic to the Freshness of Nature
I left Jakarta around 9am.. Traffic jam ? That's for sure.. But when I entered the Sentul area , it felt very different..I could already feel the fresh air , the road was also cooler because of the many trees.. The cars weren't too crowded either.. Genuinely , it felt like I was in another city that was more peaceful.. When I arrived at Sentul Cultural Park , the first thing I saw was a big sign on a wooden board : "CULTURAL PARK ".. Simple but aesthetic.. And around the writing , there were many ornamental plants that made the atmosphere more beautiful.. I immediately thought , “Okay , this is going to be a fun day..”
• 🌳 Relaxing Exploration But Makes You Excited
For those who bring families or children , this place is perfect.. There are outbound areas , flying fox , archery , and ATVs.. But if you're the type who likes to explore new places while walking , taking photos , and enjoying the atmosphere , this place is a winner.. I personally traveled around the area on foot.. There was no target where to go , but that's what made it fun.. Every corner has a different feel.. I took pictures of several spots that I think have a strong vibe - from the corner of the garden , the path , to the area that is calm and cool..It's not about the details of the flowers or plants , but more about “this place has a nice aura to enjoy.. ”
To make you feel more at home , at some points there are semi-hidden cafes and seats.. You get the hidden vibes.. These places are great for a quick leyeh-leyeh or to continue exploring other spots that are no less interesting..
• 📸 Many Cool Spots to Capture
For those who love content , this place is quite rich in photo spots.. But not the ones that are too forced to be “instagramable”.. Precisely because it looks natural and not made up , the photos here are more honest.. There is an impression of “I'm really traveling” not “I'm doing a photoshoot”.. The paths, tall trees , wooden benches , and semi-rural atmosphere make each frame feel alive.. And to be honest , my shots here became a pretty decent stock of content for social media..
• Lessons from a Simple Walk
Sometimes we're too eager to find a vacation spot far away , even though what's close by can also be a fun stopover.. Taman Budaya Sentul taught me to slow down and enjoy the little things that we usually miss.... I also feel more sane after going here.. You don't have to go to the mountains or the beach , just walk around the park which has a cool and serene atmosphere - it's enough to recharge your soul energy....
• You Must Try It Once
If you live around Jabodetabek , and are looking for a place to take a break from the noisy city life , Taman Budaya Sentul could be a solid option.. Bring your friends , partner , family , or even just yourself.. I've experienced how this place can embrace you who are tired , without fuss , without crowds , and without pretense.. You really get the healing..
