Among the many things we have already told you can do on the island of the gods, we could not forget the Bali waterfalls. Some for the height from which the water descends, others for the environment around them. Whatever the reason, are places worth visiting and always, but always, they steal a sigh.
So if you go to Bali, besides beaches, rice fields, temples, diving, rafting, surfing and nasi goreng, you have to plan a visit to a waterfall.
Bali Lakes
Don\’t be surprised to see so much water, and because it is an island is completely surrounded by sea. Bali in particular has so many geographical features that you could make a very complete atlas.
Like the waterfalls, the Bali lakes are not so popular and not because they are not attractive, but because this island offers so much of everything. In addition to the fact that is impossible to know and enjoy much of the available supply, is not so easy to travel through its geography in a short time, and there are many sites in Bali that are still little explored and exploited and therefore, not only do not offer the basic amenities that tourism demands but in many cases infrastructure is so basic that does not allow easy access.
Bali waterfalls
If you are a fan of waterfalls and decide to take a tour of some Bali walterfalls, the best thing you can do is map your area and select by proximity, basically so that you can take advantage in one day and visit several points at once, like a waterfall, a lake and a temple, or a volcano and a rice field. The combination of activities can be an exhausting plan, but being Bali, it is always possible to close the afternoon in a spa and with a good massage.
Returning to the map, if you are not interested in visiting several waterfalls but some punctual, unless it is very special, tries not to choose one that is so far away, so you do not spend too much time moving. Otherwise, wears comfortable clothes and shoes (including a swimsuit), sunscreen and water to drink (remember that the water there is not drinkable).

It is one of the most easily accessible waterfalls. It is a little more than 10 km from Ubud, so if you stay there you can go by motorcycle without any problem. The entrance is charged at a cost (which is minimal) and is reached by descending a few steps.
✅ Bunyumala Twin Watergall
Access to this place is a little difficult but perhaps that is why it is less frequented than others, so you can enjoy much better the view and tranquility that the space offers.
✅ Tukad Cepung
Esta caída de agua se encuentra al interior de una cueva y para llegar hay que descender por una bajada un tanto pesada, así que mejor lleva calzado bien cómodo y que se pueda mojar.

It is true that there are many lakes, however, only a handful of them are the most interesting to exploit for tourism. But waterfalls are distributed in such a random way, as only nature can provide, that is why it is also so difficult to decide where the best waterfalls in Bali are, because in the end they are so different from each other. also offers such different but magical landscapes and it is impossible to say which one is the most beautiful.
