Deer Conservation, Cariu Bogor Indonesia

I got some fun at the second day of 'Ied .. Oct, 2 2008..
me and my family went to Deer Conservation, in Cariu Bogor. it lies down in the alternative route of Jakarta-Cianjur.. You won't cross Puncak Area to reach this place when you're from Jakarta..
A 'lil bit further, but it gives you another journey...

you'll take a 90 degrees turn left from the sign "Wana Wisata Wisata Pendidikan Penangkaran Rusa" .. penangkaran rusa is known as Deer Conservation. Then you'll meet rocky road 'bout 50 m to the parking lot.

Welcoming gate of it is a bridge that cross over Cibeet River. You have to cross the bridge to reach the area. Fun sensation is the only thing that you'll have when you crossing. Pict below can show how the bridge is.

Meeting point with the deers is somewhere inside the forest. Don't worry 'bout that, it won't take a long time to go. It's just about 250 m. There's a hiking track that you can follow. Please, be careful in some points of the track. It'll be slippery when rain comes or in wet condition and it's without any boundary to prevent someone falling down to river.

At the end of the track, you'll meet bordered area and another bridge. Just walk in through the bridge 'till it ended. The bridge is ended by groups of deers walking through the forest. Really nice! Be careful, you have to step at the stairs to reach the deers. It's about 3-5 steps.

You can buy some vegetables for feeding the deers at the officer before you get downstairs. There's a rule that deer is only can be feed by the food provided by the officer. It's to prevent deers become ill because of strange food.

Actually, there are 3 types of deers here.. but I just met 2 of them. I didn't see the "polkadot one".. xixi.. 'n I can't see the differences 'bout the 2 types left.




When you have food at your palm, deer will come at you immediately. They act fast, even when your palm is empty. They will run to you when they know you still have food. So, please hide the plastic of food in your pocket or somewhere safe from the deers' eyes.

Here are some pictures when the meal time.
