Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall

The 24 Best Things to Do in Bali

"Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall, a lesser-known Northern Bali attraction, is a little hard to get to. You'll need to drive at least 90 minutes from Ubud and take a winding, 20-minute hike through a banana plantation. But once you've completed the journey, you'll be rewarded handsomely with a lush forest hiding a set of grand waterfalls that are somehow not overrun by crowds. You’re here for the falls and, depending on the season, you might be able to safely access all four. The main waterfall is the most spectacular—a verdant rock amphitheater with misty streams cascading down to a shallow pool. Come at an opportune time of the day—the earlier the better—and you might have this slice of paradise all to yourself. In Bali, it's rare to find a splendid attraction unsullied by the traveling masses—go before word catches on." - Travis Levius
