Waikelo Sawah Spring
Mata Air Waikelo Sawah
Clear spring water gushes out of a cave and forms a small waterfall and pools. Locals bathe and irrigate their fields here, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
Waikelo Sawah is a natural spring in Southwest Sumba Regency. Water flows out of a limestone cave to form a broad little waterfall and clear pools, surrounded by rice fields and villages. It is an important irrigation source and bathing place for locals, and villagers and children often swim here in the evening. The site is small, with free or low-cost entry, and it is a good place to stop for half an hour on the road from Tambolaka to Waikabubak. Please respect local users and do not use shower gel in the water source.
