Emerging from the rugged landscape of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, the awe-inspiring Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue gazes over the island. This towering monument stands as Bali's most renowned landmark, illustrating the Hindu deity Wisnu alongside the mythical bird, Garuda.
Crafted by celebrated Balinese artist Nyoman Nuarta, Garuda represents Indonesia's national emblem and serves as a timeless symbol of liberation from tyranny. Reaching nearly 400 feet in height, it ranks among the tallest monumental statues globally.
The statue is a breathtaking centerpiece within GWK Cultural Park, an intriguing 60-hectare cultural area that showcases Bali’s rich heritage through performances, folktales, and grand sculptures.
As you traverse the park on foot or via Segway, take in sweeping views of the island. Savor authentic Indonesian dishes while immersing yourself in this land filled with mythology or consider hosting your next major event at one of GWK’s impressive venues.
