Madakaripura Waterfall, East Java

#summervacay Madakaripura feels like a sacred place hidden in the jungle. To reach the main waterfall, you walk along a narrow canyon, past smaller cascades and mossy cliffs. When you finally arrive, a tall, narrow stream of water drops from the sky in a nearly enclosed cave-like space—it’s magical. The sound is deafening, and the mist surrounds you. Legend says this was a meditation spot for an ancient Javanese general, and you really can feel the mystique.
