Waterfall - Cigamea




Curug Cigamea located in the village of Gunungsari, District Pamijahan, Bogor regency, which is part of the tourist area of Mount Salak Endah. When you visit this tourist area from the direction Leuweliang, then Curug Cigamea is the first waterfall you will encounter before the five other waterfalls. Five? indeed, tourist area of Mount Salak Endah has six waterfalls as a tourist attraction (Jackfruit, Luhur, Cihurang, hide, and Cigamea Sewu), a hot water bath (Mount Picung) and one crater tour (Queen Crater).

To go to the location of the waterfall, visitors must walk from the parking lot, through the descent + / - 350 meters. During the trip, carrying at least three additional waterfalls in the right side of the road. Each with ketinggan ranged from 5 to 10 meters but with a little water discharge and have been behind crowded as the leaves of trees. Condition of the road to the location of the path that has been made of stone and neatly arranged in the form of stairs. In some parts of the road there is a retreat, to unwind for a moment while enjoying a waterfall from afar. Vending stalls are also available, ready to serve with a simple dish of boiled noodles or just a cup of hot milk. Surely things can not we enjoy remembering when it was still within the Muslim fasting month of ramadan

Arriving in site, it seems clear that Curug Cigamea consists of two main waterfalls with different characters. The first waterfall is closer to the entrance, a waterfall with steep cliff walls and dominated like black rocks. Type of water that falls are more abundant sprinkling water directly falling from the top heavy enough even though it seems clear not sederas / registration for the second waterfall. It also wants to make the reasons for the abundant water ponds that are below it is not broad and deep that can not be used for swimming. Location that is open, allowing visitors to be on the left and right side of a waterfall.

The second waterfall is approximately 30 meters from the first waterfall and were dicelah cliff. Rocky cliffs black hue blends with the color line sorrel appears obvious and give yourself time to see nuance. Water that flows more like a river flow with bottom widths are increasingly widening and high water discharge. At first sight when viewed from below, the source water that is above the second waterfall is located slightly below the first waterfall, but it was not. From the observations ranging from entry this location, it became clear that this second waterfall has a higher elevation than the first waterfall, but it is covered by trees and there is a little part of land jutting forward, the practical upper part can not be seen as being under location. My assumption, about 50 percent of the actual height of this waterfall, can not be enjoyed from the bottom location.

swimming abundant water that exist under the second waterfall, has a depth and wide enough to merely play the water and swim. Water color is blue-green pool in the middle indicates that the division is quite deep. Even one of the visitors trying to climb the cliff and then jumping from a height of 2 meters to the middle of the pond. Quite noisy visitors who came on that afternoon. Sometimes men do not hesitate visitors undressed and my pants, wearing only underwear and then menyeburkan himself, swam up to the middle of the pool, while other friends cheering from the edge of the pond

Curug Cigamea really interesting place to visit for both youth groups and family travelers. Dibadan rivers that are not in, it seems some young children busy playing water while soaking her feet to feel the freshness and the coldness of the water. Busway laughter accompanies their current behavior in part by a spray of water terpecik her playmates. Unfortunately the location of this tour is not suitable for camping because of natural conditions such as steep cliffs, but at least enjoy two different waterfalls in one location, appears to be the main attraction to visit.
