The Best Things to Do in Bali, the Island of the Gods | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located a 45-minute drive from Ubud, Tibumana is a photogenic waterfall with a curtain-like cascade that plunges into a calm, shallow pool. Framed by moss-covered rock walls and lush ferns, it feels like a hidden paradise. Arrive early, and you’ll likely have it to yourself, as it tends to be less popular than other waterfalls near Ubud. A well-maintained forest path and bamboo bridges lead to this refreshing spot, which offers changerooms, lockers, restrooms, and a lifeguard or staff member (who will likely blow their whistle at you if you get too close to the base of the powerful cascade). Nearby, a few small restaurants and food stalls serve grilled corn and fresh coconuts—the ideal post-swim snack." - Julia Eskins
