Along the way to the waterfall spot, tourists will see an amazing view of savanna and traditional houses. Arriving at Tanggedu area, tourists will be greeted with a beautiful panorama of the Grand Canyon of East Sumba. It is called like this because the rock cliffs and the water flow are very similar to Grand Canyon in Arizona, United States of America. Unlike most waterfalls, the water flows from low altitude. Only about 8 meters with natural pools below.
