Overview
Green Canyon, yes, make no mistake it’s not
America’s Grand Canyon, but it is Pangandaran’s Green Canyon on the
southern coast of West Java. Originallya called “Cukang Taneuh”-
the local Sundanese meaning for Soil Bridge- Green Canyon has a 3 meter
wide bridge made up of soil above the twin cliffs on both river banks.
This natural wonder is surely a spectacular scene that you will not find
anywhere else.
The name Green Canyon is believed to have been dubbed by a French
tourist who came to the location in 1993. It is said that the clear
green water of the river and the abundant green moss on the cliff had
given it its popular name. This little natural wonder is located at the
Kertayasa Village, in the Ciamis Regency, West Java Province, about 31 Km or 45 minutes’ drive from Pangandaran Beach.
