Jumog Waterfall Review, Solo, Java, Indonesia

This post is a Jumog Waterfall review. Jumog Waterfall is found about an hour drive from the city of Solo (Surakarta) in Java, Indonesia. It is close to Candi Certho. This Jumog Waterfall review also contains costs, directions, pictures and other useful information.

Since we had driven all the way to Candi Certho we decided it was a good idea go check out a close-by waterfall.

Between going from Candi Certho to Jumog Waterfall we stopped at a tea-house for lunch. It had a little platform so you could get a good shot of their tea plantations.

Taken from the platform of the tea-house where we ate lunch.

I thought Ria might take me to a “secret waterfall” but I had no such luck. When we got to Jumog there was a school group there as well as many other tourists. It wasn’t too crowded though and was still nice to see.

Ria said that you are allowed to swim near the waterfall but no-one was. Like me, they probably thought it was too cold. Man, I must be getting old. Ten years ago I was swimming across 4 degree Celsius rivers with my back-pack wrapped in a garbage bag, and now I won’t even go in a waterfall if the weather is cloudy!

This is the first waterfall I have ever been to where they have built a pool for the kids to swim in.

There’s even a water-slide.
