Puncak packed with visitors

BOGOR: The road along Cisarua and the hilly Puncak area in Bogor regency was jammed by travelers who visited recreation sites on the day after Christmas on Thursday.

Vehicles were seen moving bumper to bumper along the road toward Puncak, but the traffic flowed smoothly in the direction of Jakarta, Antara reported.

Traffic jams occurred, mostly, at Cisarua market, on the road to Leuwimalang and Megamendung intersection, mostly, due to the big tourist buses that passed along the road.

A similar sight was also seen during the Idul Fitri holiday.

Most of the holidaymakers visited Taman Safari Park in Cisarua, the Cibodas National Park in Cipanas and other recreation places.

Although the area was blanketed by clouds and rainfall since noon, it did not distract the holidaymakers from enjoying their leisure time.--JP
