Bali , the legendary island of the gods, with its diverse landscape, rugged coastline and luxurious sandy beaches , lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hills, is the true embodiment of paradise on earth. One of the most popular places in the world is famous for its excellent conditions for diving and surfing , as well as a large number of cultural, historical and natural attractions . Among the latter are the well-known waterfall Sekumpul (Sekumpul Waterfall), which will be discussed later in this article.
What is interesting about the Secumpool waterfall?
The map of Bali shows that the Secumpool waterfall is located near the homonymous village in the northern part of the island . It is a whole complex of 7 streams with a height of 70-80 m, each of which has its own peculiarities. By the way, Secumpool has one important difference from other Indonesian waterfalls : it feeds immediately from 2 springs - streams and rivers, so that the right branch (higher) remains year-round crystal clear and transparent, while the water from the streams on the left gets dirty Brown color.
It is worth noting that the Secumpool is considered the most beautiful waterfall in Bali, so it is not surprising that the best pictures of the island are made here. In addition to photographing, lovers of wildlife can study local fauna and flora, represented mainly by impassable jungle. In the vicinity, rambutan and durian trees, grown by the indigenous population, are also common.
Among the other entertainments available to tourists in these parts, the following are very popular:
- swimming in the pool at the foot of the waterfall;
- visit the Lemuka waterfall, which is only 1 km from Secumpool;
- trip on the Botanical Garden "Kebun Raya ".
How to get there?
You can get to the Secumpool waterfall in several ways:
- Independently on the coordinates . The starting point is the nearest major settlement to the waterfall - the town of Singaraj a. Drive east along the coastal road about 6 km, then turn right at the "Sekumpul Waterfall" sign. At 250 m from here you will see a parking lot and a checkpoint where you can buy tickets.
- With excursion . Many tourists, fearing to get lost in the deaf jungle, do not risk going to independent study of local attractions, but prefer to book a special tour with a detailed schedule and accompanied by a qualified guide. Hike to the waterfall Secumpool takes, according to the program of the tour, about 2-3 hours and lasts only 4 km. The cost of such a tour is relatively small: a child ticket costs $ 30, an adult is twice as expensive - $ 60.
