Curug Country - Bogor

How could I complain for getting lost...*sigh*

Hello ... to you who loves Monday ^^ 

This time I wanna write about our adventurous day-out last weekend. It'd been a while since our weekend trip and I was sooo bored at home. Actually I (and my colleagues) had planned to go to Bandung on the first weekend in April which was cancelled on last minute (aarrgghhh...I was so looking forward to it) and since we'd had no plan last weekend, I kinda spurt an idea to my hubby for a short trip around Bogor.

The stone steps from parking lot

We surfed around the internet, found several places to consider and agreed to visit Curug Country (which looks instagrammable). Lucky I found this blog which describes very clearly on how to get there...yes...you better check his blog out. Big thanks to him (especially the GPS coordinates) that we managed to arrive at the destination without a fuss. Ok - we did get lost - not lost actually, it was just a wrong turn LOL, probably the Google Map showed the shortcut.

My hubby - helped all of us crossing the river

Normally I would be grumpy...got lost after 3hours of drive from Jakarta (with lunch break in the middle) but geez...the view was breathtaking and I just forgot bout the sore on my bottom for sitting for wayyy too long and was busy clicking the camera button on my mobile. Shortly after taking the wrong turn, we arrived at the destination - please do stop and ask the neighbour - they were friendly and willing to give the direction.
 

The trail from river to the waterfall

We parked the car at a small rocky area and walk down the narrow stone steps before continuing on a clayey forest trail. The trail stops at small river, about 3m wide and here we gotta cross it. The current was quite strong, about 25cm deep, but there were big rocks that helped the crossing. After that, we continued strolling on another trail (careful please - it was narrow and the clayey trail tends to be slippery) before went down on tens of stone steps (going down was easy - going up was tiring wkwkwk *I still have a sore thigh right now)
 

Awesome isnt't it?

Sweat and tiredness was soon forgotten when we reached the bottom. The waterfall wasn't as high as others but it fell over different band of rock which was quite a sight. Too bad, there wasn't a safer way to go under the waterfall so that we could have enjoyed the refreshing splash (there was a small trail which was considered dangerous by my hubby). So we moved and let the girls played on the lower part with the calm water.

The girls were enjoying themselves

Ah, before I forgot, please check your car (especially the tires) before leaving since some road were rocky and uneven and wear your sturdy shoes/sandals since the trail was slippery. There were small food vendor at the parking lot and at the waterfall (with firewood - ehm my hubby said the coffee tasted better ha ha ha) which sells instant noodle and beverages. But in case you are bringing your own food/beverage, please...please...please bring back the trash. It is a pity seeing such a beautiful place are being loitered by trash. Ah...one more thing, the mosquitoes were quite persistent

Enjoy!
