The minivan eases out of the coastal traffic and the air changes—cooler, heavier, scented with wet earth. By mid-morning you’re standing above Tegenungan, where a single sheet of water drops into a fan of white spray and the jungle seems to breathe around you. The falls demand attention: mist on your face, the river’s voice filling the canyon, photographers crouched on slippery rocks. It’s the first of four distinct landscapes you’ll meet on a long, deliberate day across central Bali.
