Kanto Lampo Waterfall – A Hidden Gem in Bali’s Jungle
Located just a short 30-minute drive from Ubud, Kanto Lampo Waterfall has become ‘Insta-famous’ due to its stunning black rock formation, which serves as a perfect backdrop for photos.
The unique shape of the waterfall was formed after an avalanche struck the Kanto Lampo river region, adding to the charm and intrigue of this breathtaking natural wonder. If you’re planning a trip to Bali, this is definitely a must-visit spot!
