Waimarang Waterfall
Air Terjun Waimarang
A waterfall hidden in a forested gorge, with blue-green pools where you can jump from the rock walls into the water. It is known as a “hidden paradise.”
Waimarang Waterfall lies in the hills about 75 km southeast of Waikabubak, in the direction of Rende. The waterfall drops into a round deep pool surrounded by rock walls, with clear blue-green water. It is one of East Sumba’s most popular swimming waterfalls. From the parking area, it takes about 30–40 minutes on a steep forest path. The way down is easy, but the way back up is tiring. It can be visited on the same day as Rende Village. Entrance fees are collected by villagers. Hiring a guide is recommended, and wear non-slip shoes.
