Pura Uluwatu is a large temple complex built of carved grey coral limestone on top of a cliff.
It is located on the most southwest tip of Bali. The landscape is rocky and dry and very different from the lush, green rest of Bali.
Pura Luhur Uluwatu is regarded as one of the six most important temples in Bali. Its location on the south westernmost precinct of this magical island guards the Balinese from the evil spirit of the ocean.
The little monkeys who lives are notorious for stealing visitor's sunglasses or earrings. The inner sanctum is perched on the edge of a steep cliff that towers above the legendary surf breaks of southern Bali.
