Lembah Anai Waterfall
Air Terjun Lembah Anai
A waterfall beside the Padang-to-Bukittinggi road, where a curtain of water about 35 meters high falls right by the road, next to a 19th-century rack railway bridge built by the Dutch.
The waterfall is inside the Lembah Anai nature reserve and can be seen right from the road. It is a must-stop rest point on the way between Padang Airport and Bukittinggi. You can walk down to the pool at the base to splash around. The old railway viaduct beside it was built in the 19th century to carry coal. Entry is cheap, and a stop of about 30 minutes is enough. Traffic is heavy on weekends, so take care when parking by the road and watch out for monkeys trying to grab food.
