Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall

Indonesia

8 story sections

Newly developed as a tourist attraction in early 2018, the falls here are among the best on Bali. It’s about a 20-minute walk from the car park, a 500m trail, which is paved only with concrete stones and logs, winds through a village and coffee plantation. You'll eventually arrive at a large sign, where the path diverges to four separate cascades. Touches like colorful shrubs, bamboo huts and bridges make them especially Insta-worthy.
