Bantimurung Waterfall
Air Terjun Bantimurung
A broad waterfall in a national park, where water flows over limestone terraces. Known as the 'Kingdom of Butterflies', it is a place to swim.
Bantimurung Waterfall lies within Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park. Wide sheets of water spill over limestone steps, and locals swim in the pools below. In the 19th century, the naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace collected large numbers of butterflies here, and the site now has a butterfly garden and a specimen museum. A trail upstream leads to limestone caves and a small lake. Foreign visitors pay a higher admission price than locals, and it is very crowded on weekends and public holidays. It is about 45 kilometres from the city centre and can be combined in a day trip with Rammang-Rammang and Leang-Leang.
