Pura Luhur Uluwatu is one of Bali's six key temples, perched 70 metres above the ocean on dramatic cliffs at the Bukit Peninsula's southwestern tip. The temple hosts a nightly Kecak fire dance performance at sunset, one of Bali's most mesmerizing cultural experiences. Watch for mischievous macaque monkeys.
