Kali Waterfall, Sulawesi, Indonesia

Really lovely waterfall, through the jungle
We really liked visiting Kali Falls (Air Terjun Kali). Really nice waterfall and interesting walking through the jungle to get there along the concrete steps. Don’t follow google maps - drive your scooter to Kali Village (to the north) and the entrance to the walk is from the top of a path there (you can just ask one of the locals where to go, we gave 20,000 Rp for parking to a local). As others have said, the concrete steps are quite slippery so I would say best for people with good shoes on and good balance. Would recommend to visit! It took us about 30min on the way down, 20min back up.

Like a scene from Jurassic Park
The place is located near Kali village, which is 15-20 minutes drive from Tomohon. It is easy to get here using an arranged tour, but I visited it by walking from Highland Resort. It took a little more than an hour to walk there. When you get close, there are some signs pointing to the right direction, but they are kinda difficult to see and I had to ask help from locals. From the village you have to walk few hundred meters. The path is made of stone blocks and was quite easy to walk. Just be careful because the stones can be slippery. There are some quite steep parts but I had no problem going there. When you finally get there the view is unbelieveable! It really is like a scene from Jurassic Park, just missing the dinosaurs. Well, there are plenty of skinks chilling on the stones. Close enough! The jungle surrounds you and if the sun is shining, you can see the sunrays in the mist raising from the waterfall. There is a beautiful little bridge which is filled with moss. It is very difficult to describe the view, you have to see it yourself. You can get very close of the waterfall but prepare to get wet! There isn't anything else to see or do, but for me just the view was good reason to do the one hour walk and get lost few times. Recommended!

Nice short trek for Kali waterfall.
Nice short trek for Kali waterfall. It is signed in the village - best to enter through the big gate, go a bit more up and leave your scooter somewhere there. There are cement stairs down so don't wander off weird paths in the jungle. It's a 20 minutes trek - it's slipper but down there it's beautiful, nature is taking over. Less maintained than Tekaan Telu but very beautiful and powerful. But, as a general issue in Indonesia, there is a lot of trash so consider taking a plastic bag and collecting some trash on the way.
