The beauty of Coban Sewu Lumajang

As a new tourist destination, not too many people know about Coban Sewu Lumajang. But as more and more visits, these attractions have begun to be discussed and become a destination for local tourists. Some foreign tourists even stopped by.

Initially, information about Coban Sewu was hidden by local residents for fear of not being maintained by the government such as the Tetes Cave. But after being given direction and reassured, local residents opened up and now hope that Coban Sewu can be developed.

 

Down the river

Coban in Javanese means waterfall, the same as curug in Sundanese. Being sewu means a thousand. Maybe because the flow of water in this Coban is very much along the cliff.

The height of this waterfall is quite horrifying when we take photos of the cliffs. If you want to see the waterfall from below, you can go down through the Tetes Cave. But visitors must be careful because the terrain faced is quite difficult and slippery.

After reaching the bottom, we must fight the flow of the river. When down the river, you also need to be careful because the current is quite strong and swift.

When down this river visitors will be treated to stunning natural scenery around, as if we were in another nature.

Tips on Visiting Coban Sewu Lumajang

There are at least seven things that must be considered by travelers who plan to travel to Coban Sewu:

  • Use Shoes / Jagged Sandals
    Shoes / jagged sandals will make it easier for us to go down steep cliffs and slippery mossy rock.
  • Never try to find your own way.
    Use the services of a local guide, because there is no steady path. The path is made by local residents who work as grass seekers who break through the road so that visitors can pass.
  • Protect your electronic equipment with tight plastic packaging, and put it in a bag.
    This is because when down the river you will be hit by strong winds that carry drops of water. So as not to get wet exposed to water.
  • If you visit a group, you can bring a rope to hold all participants to make it safer.
  • Bring snacks and mineral water, because there are no food and beverage vendors on site.
  • Better to visit it in the morning
    It is important for you to note that this waterfall is located in a forest, not a coastal area, so if you want to go to this place you should come in the morning. By visiting coban sewu in the morning, you can get fresh air or oxygen.
  • Make sure you pay attention to the weather. If it’s cloudy, it’s better not to continue because it will be dangerous.
