Located on the slopes of Mount Semeru, or precisely in the area of Sidomulyo Village, Pronojiwo District, Lumajang Regency, this waterfall amazes visitors because it is said to be similar to Niagara Falls on the border of Canada and America.

There are several points that visitors can explore here. Tourists who do not want to visit other points can directly enjoy the Tumpak Sewu waterfall from the panoramic spot.

Access is relatively easy; visitors who walk about 5 minutes from the parking lot are presented with a magnificent giant waterfall that stretches like a curtain.

Drip Cave (Goa Tetes)

A drip cave is under the waterfall at the end of the Glidih River. It is named Goa Tetes because water from above seeps and drips on the cave walls.

There are various myths and legends associated with Goa Tetes. In fact, the locals believe that the water from the cave is productive to make us more youthful.
