Sekumpul waterfall

Sekumpul is a multi-tiered waterfall system where several streams plunge from approximately 80 meters through thick vegetation into a natural pool at the valley floor. The site sits within coffee and clove plantations that form the landscape leading to the falls.

The area was developed for tourism in the early 2000s when local authorities built hiking paths and created official entry points for visitors. These improvements turned the falls into an established destination.

Local people regard the waterfalls as a sacred site where ceremonial rituals take place in connection with water and spiritual practices. Visitors walking through the area may encounter offerings and notice how the location holds meaning beyond its natural beauty.

Reaching the falls requires ascending about 340 concrete steps through plantation areas, so sturdy footwear and a steady step are important. Local guides are required for safety and can provide information about the landscape along the way.

The water flows through coffee and clove plantations that have been cultivated for generations, linking the falls to local farming heritage. This agricultural connection remains visible throughout a visitor's descent.
