Lapopu Waterfall
Air Terjun Lapopu
A terraced waterfall in Manupeu Tanadaru National Park, where water cascades over layers of travertine rock and flows into a deep green pool.
Lapopu Waterfall lies in the west of Manupeu Tanadaru National Park, now part of Matalawa National Park. It drops about 90 metres, and the water splits into several streams that tumble down travertine steps. The pool below is emerald green, and you can paddle in the shallows. From the car park it takes about 15 to 20 minutes on foot, along a dirt path and across a small stream. The national park entry fee is modest, and the water flow decreases in the late dry season. It is about an hour's drive from Waikabubak on narrow roads, so hiring a car is recommended.
