“The enchantment of the flow of the Cijulang river that penetrates the cave is decorated with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites and eternal rain.”
Green Canyon was initially named by the local community Cukang Taneuh which means land bridge, because in this place there is a ±3 meter wide land bridge that was formed naturally through natural processes so that it connected the two river cliffs. The name Green Canyon was first popularized by a tourist named Bill Jhon. At that time he was having an adventure down the Cijulang river seeing an amazing view that seemed to remind him of a canyon in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States of America which divides the Colorado river.
Green Canyon is a natural tour in the form of a river that is flanked by two rocky hills that penetrate the cave. The mouth of the cave is decorated with splashing water droplets that resemble eternal rain which gives the impression of the perfection of nature’s beauty.
