GREEN CANYON

Nature / adventure activity

Recomended during dry season

Cukang Taneuh or Green Canyon is one of the attractions in West Java which is located in the Village District Kertayasa Cijulang, Ciamis District ± 31 km from Pangandaran( West Java, indonesia ). This canyon is formed from soil erosion due to river flow Cijulang over millions of years to penetrate caves with stunning stalactites and stalaknit and flanked by two hills with rocks and thick foliage presents a unique natural attractions and challenging.

At the mouth of the cave there are waterfalls Palatar so the atmosphere at this attraction feels so cool. Activities to do including climbing cliffs, swimming, and boating. To reach this location travelers can make use of the many boats available at Pier Ciseureuh, both outboard boats and paddle boats. This attraction adjacent degan Batukaras attractions and airport Nusawiru.

Green Canyon name was popularized by a French nationality in 1993. However, the Sundanese called Green Canyon as Cukang Taneuh or in Indonesian means Land Bridge. Green Canyon name is refer to the Grand Canyon in Colorado, United States.

"Green Canyon" Journey through some truly wondrous jungle - rich in massive teak trees, palms, various hanging vinery and the shrill sounds of extensive bird-life. The canyon is apparently a couple of hundred metres long, but it is only safe for visitors to venture the first hundred. At the end of the passable section, the opportunity arises to jump from a 5 metre high stalagmite formation rising from the canyon floor into a deep pool below. The rocks aren't sharp or slippery and there's a myriad of harmless critters around like frogs, dragonflies and miniature crabs to marvel at too. There are about 500 visitors a day, but it will increase to 2,000 per day on holidays make boat congestion on the narrow path and make boat long-waiting too.

Hiking Ujung Kulon National Park

UJUNG KULON NATIONAL PARK
Point of interest ( Jungle treck/ hiking, snorkeling, diving, surfing, wildlife)

Ujung Kulon located in the extreme south-western tip of Java on the Sunda shelf, includes the Ujung Kulon peninsula and several offshore islands ( Peucang Island and Panaitan Island ) and encompasses the natural reserve of Krakatoa. In addition to its natural beauty and geological interest – particularly for the study of inland volcanoes – it contains the largest remaining area of lowland rainforests in the Java plain. Several species of endangered plants and animals can be found there, the Javan rhinoceros being the most seriously under threat.

Brief synthesis:

Ujung Kulon National Park, located in Banten Province on the extreme south-west tip of the highly populated island of Java, has the best and most extensive lowland forest remaining on the island. The property, including the Ujung Kulon peninsula and several offshore islands retains its natural beauty and possesses a very diverse flora and fauna, demonstrating on-going evolution of geological processes since the Krakatau eruption in 1883.

The Krakatau volcano as part of the formation of the property, is the most well known and studied of all modern volcanic eruptions, due primarily to the devastating effects (36,000 people killed) registered throughout the northern hemisphere. The property is globally significant as the last and most important natural habitat of the critically endangered, endemic, single-horned Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) along with several other species of endangered plants and animals. Ujung Kulon is believed to sustain the last viable natural population of this species, estimated at approximately 60 individuals. It is not known how this compares to historical densities, but is a critically low figure from the point of view of species survival and viable genetic diversity.
