Blawan Waterfall, a Waterfall with Hot Sulfur Water

Blawan Waterfall is located in Regaherjo Hamlet, Kalianyar Village, Sempol District, Bondowoso Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. The distance from the city center to tourist locations is around 57 kilometers.

Blawan Waterfall is a hot waterfall as a result of seepage from a phenomenal mountain crater, namely the Ijen Crater. The Blawan Bondowoso waterfall contains sulfur and is surrounded by macadamia plants. Well, the main attraction of the Bondowoso waterfall is thanks to its amazing view, which is the reason why it is so popular with visitors now.

This waterfall is flanked by two high cliffs covered with moss and other green plants. Apart from that, this 30-high waterfall is very fast. In fact, it was still the dry season. The color of the water is yellowish because it contains sulfur. Visitors cannot descend to the base of the waterfall because, apart from the water containing sulfur, the valley is also feared to be prone to landslides.

In this area there is also a park managed by the Blawan coffee processing factory. This park also has a waterfall that is no less beautiful than Blawan Waterfall. The nickname of the waterfall in this park is Mini Niagara. There is also a hot water pool for visitors who want to soak, namely the Damar Wulan baths, which were originally a petilasan area, where there was a dam which used to be the Damar Wulan bathing area. Visitors who come usually wash their faces there, because the water flow is still fresh and clean, it is said that it is believed to make you stay young

From the entrance counter to the Blawan tourist area, visitors must continue the journey on foot. The road taken is quite extreme because the route goes up and down between two cliffs. To make it easier, this waterfall has been marked on Google Maps
