Naming Uci Waterfall also has its own story. The name Curug Uci is taken from the name of an old woman and a native of Kampung Punduk Curug who lived from birth until she died living in the village. Mak Uci is one of the people who have contributed the most in preserving the environment, especially around the waterfall, such as planting a variety of banana plants, wood, bamboo and the area around the location becomes green and looks far from arid.
Beneath this stepped waterfall there is a small pond to accommodate the flow of water, and the shape of the pool resembles a heart. Even so, visitors are not advised to swim in the pool, because the water discharge will be very heavy when it rains. In order to avoid unwanted things, visitors are not allowed to swim in the pool. No need to worry, because visitors can still play in the water at the base of the waterfall.
