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!

Why Visit Kanto Lampo Waterfall?

Easy Accessibility: Unlike many other waterfalls in Bali, Kanto Lampo does not require strenuous trekking or navigating dangerous obstacles. This makes it one of the most accessible waterfalls on the island, ideal for families and children.
