Fodor's Expert Review Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls

Hike up 638 steps to reach the top of the Telaga Tujuh (meaning "seven wells") Waterfall. This natural wonder offers a lookout tower with views of Buray Bay and Pantai Kok from the top, as well as seven fresh pools to cool off in after the trek. Stone channels between pools provide smooth slides to get from one to the next. There is a legend that fairies used to bathe in these waters, and infused them with supposed healing powers. December through April is dry season so the waterfalls shrink to a trickle then, but the climb to the top and the rewarding swim are still nice. Be sure to wear or bring your bathing suit (there are changing rooms), and plenty of water to drink on the way up.
