Following
a
one-hour
drive
from
Bogor’s
city
centre,
this
waterfall
offers
a
scenic
escape
from
the
bustling
city
life.
The
waterfall
is
located
within
an
area
that
also
includes
camping
grounds
and
other
hike
trails,
and
you
will
have
to
flex
your
calf
muscles
for
a
bit
to
get
here.
Generally,
you
will
not
veer
too
much
from
big,
well-maintained
roads
when
heading
towards
this
site.
Only
for
the
latter
quarter
of
the
trip
that
you
will
go
through
a
one-lane
road,
which
would
not
be
a
problem
for
bikers.
The
road
has
lots
of
very
steep
inclines
with
unprotected
edges
so
make
sure
your
driver
is
experienced
enough.
To
reach
the
waterfall
you
will
need
to
pass
a
motorcycle
parking
area,
then
the
camping
grounds,
before
reaching
the
stairs.
If
you
use
a
motorcycle
or
bike,
you
will
be
able
to
drive
uphill
towards
the
motorcycle
parking
area
and
even
the
camping
grounds.
However,
if
you
use
a
car,
you
will
have
to
park
near
the
entrance
to
the
grounds
and
hike
to
the
motorcycle
parking
area.
Personally,
I
would
say
the
hike
from
the
parking
spot
to
the
camping
grounds
is
the
most
energy-consuming,
and
takes
half
of
the
total
trek
time,
so
if
you
use
a
motorcycle
you
can
let
the
engine
work
for
you
and
save
at
least
half
of
your
energy.
The
proceeding
hike
is
not
too
tough
compared
to
the
former
portion,
and
you
will
pass
through
preserved
forests
until
you
reach
the
stairs,
which
lead
downwards
to
the
waterfall.
The
stairs
are
etched
on
the
side
of
a
hill
so
you
can
enjoy
the
view
of
the
valley
while
making
your
descent.
The
steps
are
pretty
steep,
but
you
can
hold
onto
the
bamboo
railing
with
no
problem.
As
soon
as
you
reach
the
bottom,
you
will
reach
the
area
that
contains
Curug
Ciampea,
the
Green
Lagoon,
and
a
smaller
waterfall
which
name
I
forgot
(sorry).
Some
small
shops
are
also
open
which
sell
drinks
and
snacks,
so
you
can
take
your
time
in
the
area.
Luckily,
not
a
lot
of
people
visit
despite
the
relatively
better
access
compared
to
other
waterfalls.
The
waterfall
itself
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
and
exotic
waterfalls
that
I
have
visited.
As
you
get
near,
a
cool
breeze
from
the
crashing
water
overwhelms
you
and
makes
you
feel
as
if
you
have
escaped
all
your
problems.
One
of
my
biggest
regrets
is
that
I
did
not
prepare
extra
clothes
and
a
towel
to
go
for
a
swim
in
the
pool
at
the
base
of
the
waterfall.
The
stream
water
is
very
clean
and
fresh
as
well
so
make
sure
you
drink
a
lot
of
it.
The
total
hike
to-and-back
would
take
around
40
minutes,
so
make
sure
you
prepare
your
eyes
for
a
scenic
route.
Also,
you
will
need
to
pay
22k
per
person
upon
entry
to
the
area
in
addition
to
parking
fees
which
is
not
much
different,
but
I
can
assure
you
that
this
will
feel
extremely
cheap
compared
to
your
experience
