the beauty of Ujung Genteng island


Pesona Ujung Genteng

Sukabumi has many beautiful natural attractions and natural, one of which is  Ujung Genteng. About 70 miles south of sukabumi, or if we depart from Jakarta, about 250 kilometers. The distance that we traveled through the land route could take almost 6 hours away, because we passed several small towns like Cicurug and cibadak  famous by pretty ,noisy and crowded. Once we go through the small towns we are going through a pretty winding road twists and turns, and right beside left we were treated to a beautiful natural scenery along our journey. Edge of ujung genteng, including the southern coastal areas of West Java. And one of the famous beach here is Pengumbahan Beach on Edge tiles, white sandy beach and fine is the preferred place to stop by green turtles lay their eggs. Coastal areas used for nesting sea turtles reach the extent of approximately 110 hectares.
The beauty of this Ujung Genteng Beach is not only clean and virgin beaches, but here we can also enjoy the beautiful sunrise and the beauty of the sunset when his twilight. Here we can also relax with your family, because the beach in this Ujung Gentengthere were no waves so great, because it underlined the beach was blocked by a coral reef. So that the water is safe to play with family and doing other activities on the shore.
One of the beaches are favored by the green turtle Chelonia mydas or Latin name for the spawn is Pengumbahan Coast, because the closest point Clank three other turtle habitat locations that still sukabumi southern region. Hawksbill turtle nesting season is between the months of August to March, because a turtle lay eggs each season as much as 3-4 times. And in this egg-laying season, tens or even hundreds of turtles that lay eggs. Because of this pengumbahan beach beach closest to the street, in this month tersebutlah crowded tourist beach to see turtles nesting turtles. We can see the process of reproduction in turtles lay their eggs in their natural habitat.
To reach this beach is located approximately 5kilo meters from the main road, to get there we must
hire a motorcycle taxi driver who is experienced with the terrain toward the beach. Because to get there we must pass through a path that is only just 1 car and have not paved, and we also pass through small rivers not to mention the road is very slippery when wet. To reach this area you are advised to hire a motorcycle taxi, motorcycle taxi just from the people, you only pay for 30-50 thousand dollars.
A lot of egg-laying turtles usually at night, we can see the turtles lay their eggs assisted by the local community who served to preserve the turtle turtle. We will walk alongside the beach at night, seeing traces of traces of egg-laying sea turtles will be assisted with a flashlight as a lighting instrument. With luck we'll see a turtle that was laying eggs, these animals known to be very slow when running. Turtle takes a very serious struggle to lay their eggs and they are very selective to find a place to lay eggs, nest excavation will be stopped if the turtle suddenly see trash or tree branch. Turtle eggs for ping pong balls, and turtle eggs have the protein content very much. Therefore many people who want to eat turtle eggs - this turtle, turtle meat selaiin it into human food too much body shell turtle and many well preserved to be decorated.

Turtle laying eggs once could reach 100-200 points, and from the 1,000 eggs that hatch and children turtles ready for release to the beach after.Only 2 to 5 turtles that can survive and reach reproductive age to spawn again. Ironic because there are a lot of people who hunt for meat and turtle eggs, and other turtles to death for affected fishermen in fishing nets, eat fish and other sea turtle enemies. And the most dangerous indeed because of human activities, because the egg market is free to be traded and the price is quite high ranging from 2000 up to 3000 rupiah. And so many people are looking for him.
In maintaining this area of green turtle populations tile Ujung sukabumi particular, local governments revise regulations concerning taxes swallow, etc. turtle eggs. So by the public about turtle eggs egg trade is not freely traded. Looks like turtle conservation needs to be addressed jointly by the local community, so rare and protected animals can be used together as a tourism potential that continues to exist.

Atraksi Debus Banten


"Debus Banten"

After saying the mantra "you touch my skin haram, haram you drink my blood, you're forbidden to eat flesh, muscle wire, Wesi bone, skin of steel, I come out from the womb of the mother. I say words la ilaha illahu. So at that moment he stuck a dagger into the thigh, arm, abdomen and other body parts. At the time of the attractions he also grabbed a small child's neck while menghunuskan his machete to the child. Oddly former machete stroke is missing leaving wounds that are very harmful to the child.
Attraction is very dangerous as we used to know called Debus, Debus said that martial arts originated from the area of al Madad. The longer the martial arts is growing and growing in all societies as the art of entertainment offerings for the community. The show is still very strong core martial arts or martial arts movement and use of weapons. Debus art offerings, many uses and focus on one player immune to attacks by sharp items, and sort of sharp weapon is called with the whistle.
Traditional Art is growing and developing since hundreds of years ago, along with the development of Islamic religion in Banten. In awalna this art has the function as the spread of religion, but on the Dutch colonial period and at the time of Sultan Agung Tirtayasa. Martial arts are used to evoke the spirit of warriors and the people who made offerings against Dutch colonialism. Because at that time the power is not balanced, the Dutch who have a weapon that is very complete and sophisticated. Continue to urge the fighters and people of offerings, the only weapons they have none other than martial arts heritage that whistle, and they fought a guerrilla.
Debus in Arabic which means sharp weapons made of iron, has a pointed tip and slightly rounded shape. With this tool whistle players injured, and usually can not be penetrated even whistle was beaten many times by others. Attractions attraction of this body immunity is another variation which is performed whistle. Among other things, belly pierced with sharp objects or spears, slicing the body with a machete until the injured and uninjured, eat fire, insert a long needle into the tongue, skin, cheeks until translucent and not injured. Cutting limbs to wounded and bleeding but can be cured in immediately, flush the body with hard water to clothes that cling dibadan crushed, chewed glass / glass flakes, burn the body. And many more attractions that they do.



In doing this attraction every player has a requirement that heavy conditions, before they perform the ritual ritual performances given by their teachers. Usually done 1-2 weeks before the ritual performed. In addition they are also required to have a strong faith and be confident with the teachings of Islam. Precepts for whistle players are not allowed to drink liquor, gambling, playing a woman, or steal. And the players also have to believe and did not hesitate in carrying out these actions, the offenses committed by a player can be very harmful to the player's soul.
According to some historical sources, Debus has a relationship with a congregation in Islamic teachings. Which in essence is very thick with religious philosophy, they are in very happy because face to face with his god. They slammed their ketubuh sharps, no effort but by God alone. If God does not allow a machete, machetes and bullets injure them. And they're not going to hurt.
At this time many warriors living dikecamatan Walantaka Debus, keragilan and areas of attack. Which is unfortunate existence of whistle more and more reduced, because the youth prefer to seek another livelihood. And because the attraction is also quite dangerous to do, because it is not uncommon that many whistle players hurt from lack of exercise and there are "ignorant" to show they are doing. So the longer the cultural heritage is increasingly extinct. In the past we can see the attraction of this whistle offerings in many areas, but now there are only whistle attractions at the event - a specific event. So not every day we can see this attraction. Cultural heritage, which is increasingly eroded by the changing times.
