What an awesome surprise!
This is called peguyangan waterfalls but is also a temple that has about 700 stairs and blue stairs down to the waterfalls and temple. If you walk past the temple you will discover hidden natural infinity pools -
what a location-
there were only a few other people there
A must see in Nusa Penida. You can see a mini video I made on my YouTube channel
Kelly coles - u got this 1 life
This was an amazing experience
I scootered there, it was a dry day. The main roads were good but more broken as you get closer.
Bring your sarong this is a temple and it’s a must.
Have fun

The waterfall itself did not really attract me. But overall the view from the top to the fresh water small pool close to the pura was amazing.
Prepare good shoes/ slipper for going down and up more than 750 steep steps. Remember to do it slowly, some of the steps are not in a very good condition.

When you are afraid of heights, don’t do it. For the 700 steps down you need to be in very good condition. Another struggle is that you need to wear a warong, that doesn’t help with the steep stairs. Besides that the waterfall itself is disappointing. Not close to the waterfalls in Bali. It even looks like artificial. For me not worth the exercise and I do not recommend to go here.

So after reading some reviews here I decided to take the journey to see this 'waterfall' as many expressed how beautiful it is. I suspect what they meant to say was the view was beautiful from the stairs on the way down to the waterfall. There is no waterfall to speak of.
The trip down the stairs does offer some very beautiful scenery of the coast and the water below. The stairs and trail are in quite good condition based on their precarious location off the side of the cliff. I noticed a previous post stating there were missing stairs. This is not the case. Most of the trail down is concrete stairs with the remainder being steel stairs. Only the last portion at the very base is wooden and they are all in very good condition. Only one stair that I encountered was slightly loose but nothing to be worried about.
I was really looking forward to this 'beautiful waterfall' but when we got to the bottom all there was was discarded piping/construction debris and other garbage. The waterfall consists of pvc piping with a small amount of water coming out of it. There is a shrine for prayer that you are not allowed to enter unless you plan to pray.
All in all this is an easy miss. Many other places along the coast offer similar views without going up and down 800+ stairs and driving an hour to get there.

Pointless waste of time coming here. The trek down the stairs was definitely not worth it. There are way better attractions on Nusa Penida that are worth the hike this was not. I think the only reason people come here is because the stairs are planted blue. The waterfall itself is a joke and I wouldnt call it a waterfall.
This is another gimmick from the locals to get money from people but no investment in the surroundings.

THE FALLS ARE UNDERWHELMING BUT THE LOCATION AND STAIRWAY DOWN THE CLIFFSIDE ARE SPECTACULARLY AWESOME
It may be different in wet season, but my visit to the falls saw a very low flow of water out of a pipe beneath the Lovely pool near cliff-bottom which trickled down maybe 25mm of rock to the sea. But getting there was a bit mind blowing.
Most of PENIDA consists of a high limestone plateau which falls precipitously to the sea along east, south and west coasts. I’ve viewed these cliffs from distant mainland Bali and closer Nusa Ceningan many times, wanting to check them out up close. In JUNE 2017 I finally got the chance.
When reaching the top of the cliff the outlook over the ocean and down the cliff-side is breathtaking. There is a temple up top with a nominal parking charge, a small warung with food and drinks and the head of the stairway. There are over 700 steps mainly metal in good condition with safety rails plus occasional concrete sections. Steepness is awesome – often 45degrees. Water pipes which supply plateau top villages and electrical supply cables for the pump-house near the base of the cliff are adjacent the stairs.
The foot of the stairway is still about 30m above sea-level. There is a small pool there with crystal-clear water. This fell as rain when CITIZEN KANE was a kid and leached down thru hundreds of meters of limestone over the years. NO SWIMMNG signs are present (this is drinking water after all) but I’ve seen online pix showing just that. I wouldn’t try swimming in the sea – access down the remainder of the cliff looks tricky and the sea tends to be pretty rough in dry season’s prevailing south-east swell.
There is a pump-house alongside the pool with a good sitting platform to rest, drink in the scene and perhaps down some refreshments. To the north a short distance is a small shrine associated the cliff-top temple.
TIPS
- take your time going up the stairway, stop often for a breather and you should have few problems. There are some good platforms where you won’t block climbers and allow you to drink in the awesome views while recovering. Some svelte-challenged dudes seemed to be doing okay this way when I went by. I live in a town with killer hills which I walk, run or cycle most days and I’m proud to say I made it back up the stairway non-stop, despite being 71 with a heavy motorcycle helmet strapped to my backpack. But DOMINOS’ TRAGICS won’t need this level of preparation if they stop and rest – even my circumferentially enhanced pal SACREMENTO SLIM, the only person (still alive) to completely surround a 40cm HAWIIAN SUPREME in under 50 seconds, would make it to the top.
- check MATA AIR TEMPLE at the top. It has special religious significance to not just locals but the Balinese in general. Online pics I’ve seen show a full size wooden replica of a CITROEN 2CV there. I don’t know the significance and it was absent when I looked in.
- the small warung adjacent the temple parking area has ice cold drinks at very reasonable prices, just the thing after climbing the stairs.
- a navigation device is recommended – the last 6km down a maze of mountain roads has many alternative un-signposted intersections and is super confusing. But just about everyone these days has a smart ‘phone so maybe this tip only applies to Luddites and geezers like me (my ‘phone doesn’t even have a camera!). I was heading in what I hoped was the right direction for some cliffs (ANY cliffs would do!) when I moved over to let a compact SUV with a local driver and 5 western ladies overtake. I decided they were a tour group headed somewhere interesting and tucked in behind. A few km later we arrived cliff-top. YAY!
- a tour guide is not a bad idea. I lost so much time finding spots that I managed only 3 significant locations over 2 days. I couldn’t find or ran out of time for another 2 I’d earmarked. My rental moto cost a typical idr60k (less than $US5) a day but my resort quoted only 200k a day for a guide to take me on the back of a moto which would have saved a lot of hassle, back-tracking and visited more places. The 5 Belgian girls did it in style - SUV and driver/guide $US25 – the same cost per person as my moto for greater comfort, expert local knowledge and more places. Several online companies offer tours for higher outlays.
- If riding solo, take your time - the side-roads are super narrow (the small SUV took the mirror off a carelessly parked moto when trying to squeeze past in a village), have few location or direction signs, and atrociously rough (mainly broken tarmac) sections. You will not make good time. However I had no problem as a novice rider – there are no ridiculous slopes with slippery gravel like in the Thai islands.
The main plateau top roads are well surfaced and not too narrow. Sign-posting is better but not great.
Enjoy the Guyangan cliffs gang, This is a good one.

This place is truely spectacular but its not for anyone with a fear of heights. The staircase literally hangs off the cliff edge and as you descend, some steps are missing. You drop off thousands of feet below. Its a sacred place and you are led to a watefall and water temple and the views are dramatic.
It seems harmless for the first 50 stairs, then it gets really tiny and you are kind of stuck - you have to keep going.
On the way up I was petrified and crawled up each step on all fours virtually. It is seriously the scariest thing i have ever done. Our guide told we were going to a rainforest - it was a total miscommunication .
If I knew we were descending down a cliff and the dramatic drop offs, I would not have done it, but once you start going down, you can not really stop.
It is incredibly beautiful though, so if you are young and fit - do it. I am over 50 and literally had anxiety over the experience. Respect to the Balinese, they go down that precarious staircase with tall offerings and children do it to, although a local told me, they have lost a child or 2. I am not surprised.
Its very adventurous, so go for it - if you are not afraid of heights and scary drop offs.

While the views on the way down are breath taking, everything else about this experience was dangerous and under whelming. It is a very steep walk down to the "waterfall", which I will come back to. The steps on the way down are steep and narrow, there are large gaps between each step and all you can see is the waves and rocks beneath you, it is very easy to miss a step and fall to your death, no exaggeration here. There are parts where the stairs have broken off and just been left, and you have to climb around them or over them, and there are no side railings for some areas of the steps, and there is 2 way traffic of people coming up and down which makes it worse. Once you finally make it to the bottom, the steps change to wooden rusty loose ones, which is just as dangerous as the whole journey down. And then you eventually come to the "waterfall", it is just a trickle of water and not in any way worth the hike down. I would not recommend this for children, anyone scared of heights or not physically fit.

You have to wear a sarong when visiting this place. If you don't have one, or if you have one but they just want to rip you off, it's IDR 15,000 per person I think. Again, a total rip off!! Stairs are super dangerous and I can't believe this is open to anyone (except women on their period of course...). Views are ok, but I felt it wasn't worth it. Needless to say I will not return ever again.

Hi, I would like to ask what sarong is necessary for? Is it a must to have it on whole way? Or does it require to tourists get involved in their rituals?
Written May 15, 2019
Yo have to wear sarong when you enter the temple at the bottom, but on the steps it is not neccesary. But if you go to bathing area you have to pass the temple anyway
