Lovely neighborhood in Penestanan. May not be easy to find, but definitely worth to try. Find the stairs next to "Art Zoo". © Joanna Blusiewicz
Rice fields are decorated with shrines to honor the rice goddess, plastic objects lined over the rice field to scare the birds or such as this one, simple for fun. © Joanna Blusiewicz

Sightseeing mapBest sites to discover
There are no fees to this adventure, no opening hours just another great thing that you can do while visiting Ubud. Ubud is just one of these places that are better to be experienced on foot than through renting a vehicle as it consists of a maze of tiny streets, waiting to be found, at the end of which almost always lies a beautiful rice paddy or terrace. Whether you like a more intense hike, or are not very keen on outdoor adventures Ubud has walkways to suit all levels of expertise.
Some other awe aspiring sites around Ubud are the rivers. The longest river is Ayung which flows from mountainous regions of the north assisting irrigation of rice fields all the way up to Ubud. When it reaches Ubud it navigates through spectacular Sayan gorge and passes valleys of tropical lush rainforest that are home to many species of birds and animals. The best way to make the most of your exploration of rivers is to go rafting.
