Green Canyon, Natural canyon in Pangandaran, Indonesia.
Green Canyon is a canyon in Pangandaran where the Cijulang River flows over about three kilometers, cutting through limestone cliffs covered in dense vegetation. Multiple caves form along the water course, shaping the landscape of this formation.
A French explorer named this formation Green Canyon in 1993, while the Sundanese traditionally called it Cukang Taneuh. This difference between the foreign and local names shows how the area has been perceived by different cultures over time.
The rock formations and water passages hold deep spiritual meaning for local communities as places of inner reflection. The Sundanese people know the location by its traditional name Cukang Taneuh, which means "Bridge of Earth."
Visitors must rent paddle boats from Ciseureuh Dock to reach the canyon, with trips operating from morning through late afternoon. It is advisable to arrive early to have plenty of time for exploration.
The area offers body rafting experiences through different sections, allowing participants to swim and navigate through narrow water passages between rock formations. This type of exploration enables direct contact with the natural formations and caves.
