Air Terjun Cibeureum, Triple waterfall system in Mount Gede Pangrango National Park, Indonesia

Curug Cibeureum is the largest and shortest of three waterfalls in the Cibodas area of Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, at about 1,675 metres elevation. Its single fall drops roughly 40–50 metres down a dark, wet rock face, splitting into several streams, with one breaking away to the right. The water lands among grey and dark boulders, and low green vegetation grows on the slope above and around it.

The waterfall lies on the Pangrango slope within the Cibodas area, which was incorporated into Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. The name Cibeureum comes from Sundanese ci (water) and beureum (red), referring to the red moss Sphagnum gedeanum on the cliff wall. A local legend holds that a powerful hermit meditated there so long that he turned to stone.

The name Cibeureum comes from Sundanese: ci means water and beureum means red, after the red moss (Sphagnum gedeanum) that grows on the cliff walls and makes the water look red in sunlight. A second legend holds that a hermit meditated here so long he turned to stone, said to be the large boulder in the middle of the fall.

Reaching the waterfall requires a walk of approximately 3 kilometers from the national park entrance through Cibodas Botanical Garden, so sturdy footwear is essential. The paths can become slippery after rain, so visitors should proceed carefully, especially on steeper sections and near water areas.
