Aside from the colossal Vespa, the exploration of this site unveils a zoo. Various creatures inhabiting the forests, such as elephants, crocodiles, orangutans, deer, and assorted bird species, can be spotted here.

Curug Sewu not only showcases the creatures of the forest but also presents an equatorial charm. Vast stretches of lush green forests and rice fields sprawl beneath, visible from an elevated vantage point. For the convenience of tourists, a viewing post has been erected to admire the landscape.

Visitors can capture memorable photographs against the backdrop of the scenic greenery. Alternatively, for a ground-level perspective, one can enjoy the view from the hill’s edge, safely fenced for the spectators’ security.

However, caution and mindfulness towards safety are paramount.

From the hill’s edge, tourists are treated to a panoramic spectacle. A valley plunging hundreds of meters unfolds before them. Despite the foliage, the cascading water in the river and against the hillside remains distinctly visible.

If viewing the 45-meter waterfall from above isn’t sufficient, one can descend to the foot of the hill. The sound of trickling water accompanies each step down the available stairs.

Not limited to one waterfall, the area boasts three cascades. The second waterfall stands at 15 meters, while the third measures 20 meters. From the hill’s base, these waterfalls resemble steps, earning Curug Sewu the title of the tallest waterfall in Central Java.
