More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shaded lane and the canyon opens—light strips through a curtain of green as water threads its way into a narrow bowl. Walking through a shallow river toward Cepung Waterfall, the stones push back under your boots and the falls call you closer; the spray cools the air and the canyon feels alive.
