Green Canyon

Cukang Taneuh, which means Soil Bridge in Sundanese, is a canyon located in Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia. It is also known as Green Canyon.[1][2] The name may have been derived from the color of the surrounding water and hills.

The canyon was formed over millions of years by the Cijulang River,[3] which is flanked by two rocky cliffs with trees above it.

The entrance to the canyon is shaped like a cave, which opens up revealing a river between two cliffs. There is a small waterfall at this entrance called Palatar. Many more waterfalls can be seen along these cliffs.
