Green rice fields and a rural village landscape surround Cebure Waterfall. At the waterfall itself, green vegetation and natural rocks frame the water. This combination gives Rendang a distinct connection to nature: the destination is primarily defined by the scenery around the waterfall and a visit where the route is just as important to plan as the place itself.

Getting your bearings at Cebure Waterfall

The journey to Cebure Waterfall from Jalan Raya Besakih is about two kilometers. Another route description refers to the car park: from there, a paved path about two kilometers long leads to the waterfall, and according to a 2020 description, it can only be traveled by motorcycle. The two two-kilometer distances refer to different starting points: one is the journey from Jalan Raya Besakih, the other is the route from the car park. A 2020 description gives the descent to Cebure Waterfall as about 800 meters of steps. A 2020 description also says the access road to the waterfall is relatively narrow.

Road and trail conditions can change, so check the current situation before your visit. A 2020 description also mentions swimming at Cebure Waterfall. Check current access and conditions on site before your visit.
