Travel and Tourism

Wera orchard of about 10 km from Tentena are fascinating and beautiful natural scenery rarely we find similar views in other regions of Indonesia, whose name Saloupa waterfalls. Why I said we would rarely find in other areas of Indonesia because it consists of 7 levels and the levels of the Brief of view we can see the water fall.

Walking is not too difficult, usually if you want to view and enjoy the view of the waterfall, we need more mileage on the hills or valleys and rocky like the waterfall in the village of Wera, Kabupan Sigi, villages name is the co-Wera meaning he river in Da'a (one Kaili).

Location waterfalls Saloupa we traveled by car or 2 wheels 4 wheels, all the way to the village of Wera Tentena town center district of North Pamona, Poso, Central Sulawesi, is still able to enjoy the beautiful expanse of paddy fields and vast arable farm population and row- community-owned cocoa plantations.

Want to go to the location of the waterfall, the local government makes a special door for entry and must be taken to walk about 200 meters to reach the waterfall directly.

Visitors also get to play and bathe in this location, because the distance of the water fall from a height of only about 2-4 per meter, the feeling is not too hard to press if you want to massage the body may naturally be putting your body under the shower water from there down the germ- germs and dirt of our bodies will flow into Lake Poso.

What is interesting is also under a rock and water are denied caress, there are also caves that can be entered and also flooded, but because of the presence of water drops covered cave is not much known to most people.

This place was rather quiet when we visited, there is no guard officers who usually charge Rp 5,000 per person and no other visitors at the time of our visit so we "roll spinach" Just go without ba-bi-bu. When you say nothing do not care because I think in some places there plastikyang bags labeled "Dispose of trash in its place." Community about this place is also not seen any around this waterfall along the trail even though there are also chocolate and corn crops.

When compared to my visit in October 2010 and poured out like water debit is reduced because not all rocks tetutup again, but I did not measure the pressure ... bah.


This photo may be watching. I do not know the cause as well, hopefully not happen to forest and mining of minerals that can not be held responsible in the area, because while returning to the city of Tentena in front of vehicles that brought us there are four truck convoy carrying rocks and gravel that he be dropped to Bukaka hydroelectric project in Sulewana, still in North Pamona district.

Hope that the government in partnership with the community can manage the location of this tour to promote better and more frequent. I imagine how sad when a current gift of God with the natural beauty of the waterfall is only a distant memory Saloupa.
