Visit Buddhist Temple the largest in the world and discover the incredible history behind its construction.
Candirejo Village is located in the Borobudur District, about 3 kilometers southeast of Borobudur Temple. The village is set amidst lush green fields and tropical rain forests, and populated with friendly people. Candirejo is said to be a symbol of Javanese culture where visitors can experience and participate in a variety of cultural attractions and activities.
The word Candirejo is a combination of two Javanese words: Candi and Rejo. Candi means temple, but it can also mean stone, and Candirejo happens to be quite a stony area. The word Rejo means fertile, so when put together, Candirejo got its name as the land that was full of stones, but yet remained fertile.
