Cipeureu Waterfall in Ciater Sub-District, Subang Regency - Indonesia

Perhaps Nagrak Village, Ciater Sub-District, becomes the most famous vacation destination in Subang Regency, Indonesia. There is a reason for it, indeed. It is the fact that the village offers several stunning waterfalls including Cipeureu Falls. To be exact, it resides in Dawuan Hutment and has another name which is Kembar Waterfall. In terms of name, “Pereu” means corrosive. The rumor has it. Any metal materials would rust if they are thrown there. Despite the story, tourists come to the location to conduct fun activities like selfies and taking a bath under the falls.

The Nuance
In terms of size, Cipeureu Waterfall has a moderate height but it comes with the swift flow of water. So, why is Cipeureu called “Kembar” Waterfall, though? “Kembar” means twin, actually. According to the locals, there was another waterfall back then. However, those falls became one due to the decreasing amount of water source. No wonder, tourists can only find one wide waterfall instead of two branched falls on the site. Still, it remains beautiful as before and keeps luring more visitors over time! So, what can people do there?

Exploring Cipeureu Waterfall
Cipeureu or Dawuan Waterfall offers a good serenity to visitors. This kind of peaceful ambiance occurs due to the fact that the waterfall is located in a secluded area, covered by local tea plantation. This explains why most visitors come to the location in order to get rid of stresses caused by daily routines. They can simply watch the flow of the water and enjoy the nuance. Even the atmosphere feels so cool, especially in the morning (which is suitable for lessening).

The next allure of Cipeureu Waterfall is definitely the presence of tea plantation, located near to the site. Thus, tourists can take the chance to witness local farmers’ activity from close range.
