Kanto Lampo Waterfall

Shrouded in mystery and miracle, this waterfall is a recent addition to Bali’s repertoire of waterfalls.

As an answer to the prayers of the local people, water began to flow down the rocks of the Kanto Lampo Waterfall, bringing people and fortune to the village. This is not the only incident of the seemingly impossible feats of the area, as legend says that a cave magically appeared overnight after the villagers prayed for a blessing. Juicy, round brilliantly orange fruit that adorn the trees near the waterfall are what lend these falls its name. For only a small entrance fee, you can enjoy this simple wonder of nature with all your friends and family.


Wade in the water and enjoy nature’s crazy good massage skills by letting the pounding flow pummel your back. Climb the rocks and snap a dramatic pic with the rushing falls as your backdrop, in true explorer style. Set up a picnic mat, buy some tasty satay, noodles, cooling drinks from the nearby stalls and enjoy a meal on the rocks with the deafening sounds of the water drowning out all your distractions and worries. There’s nothing like clambering barefoot on slippery rocks, the waterfall creating an ethereal mist, roaring water, simultaneously secluded yet crowded with the vitality of life, that captures the essence of a holiday in Bali.

Tips Before You Go
On the left of the waterfall walk down some steps and along the river bank, where there is a wonderful fishing zone. If you cross the river and climb up the rocks you can follow a pathway to the cave, where there is a spectacular view of the waterfall. Depending on the recent weather, your experience will be different. After heavy rain, expect a heavy flow but muddier water, whereas after a dry spell, although the flow is lighter, the river water should be clearer.
