Beautiful waterfalls, they could be better managed
Very very beautiful falls, located in the same natural park as matayanku waterfalls (which require more trekking time to be reached). There is a parking fee, an entrance fee (very low for locals but very expensive for foreigners - an unjustified 150k IDR) and the mandatory local guide fee. The vehicle road access is definitely not the best, while the walk to the waterfalls spot is quick (10 mins) and easy (but not particularly well kept). You can swim under the falls, probably crowded only during weekends, in an amazing atmosphere. Facilities at the parking /entrance are in cement, which definitely doesn't help the beautification also given local material could have been bamboo with a little effort. As there is a fee and a guide you would also expect a bit more info / organization.

Easy to reach the fall
Great waterfall, considered easy trekking though some slippery rocks. Hot and humid for sure even in June. Love the long bamboo bridge, unfortunately can be a long wait if there is a big group because bridge can only hold 2 people at a time
