Maribaya Waterfall


Maribaya derived from the name of a very beautiful woman who became the source of excitement for men. I was so fascinated by her beauty, youth in kampungya often bicker so that at times can be a bloodbath. That picture of the beauty Maribaya past. Because of the beauty and comfort of the region, the location of warm water baths were immortalized by the name Maribaya. Elegancy scenery with waterfalls murmur is described as a beautiful girl that makes every young man to his knees. However, if the current Maribaya attraction was the same that makes everyone want menyambanginya?Since the start was developed in 1835 by Mercury Eyang Dinata, father Maribaya, location attraction was successfully changed the lives of Mercury Dinata Grandmother who previously lived in poverty become wealthy. Many people who visit the place. They do not just come for the natural fresh air recreation mountains and hills, but many also seek treatment by soaking in warm water.Grandmother Mercury Dinata who really just want to avoid bloodshed in the village, even after managing blessed wealth of mineral hot springs that can be used for the treatment of it. Maribaya family income from the visitors who came flocking................................................Night at two in the morning, four-wheeled vehicle that I use passed slowly between the cold earth parahyangan. Susana is a bit drizzly and foggy, increasingly forcing me to always be watchful eye over every corner there among the hills. Maribaya, that's the direction the vehicle is about to go. It was indeed not the right time to visit, although the security guard said that the tour Maribaya guard open 24 hours, the darkness of night will certainly make some of the charm is there can not be enjoyed. Never mind, at least I can still warm bath for relaxation eliminate fatigue after driving for about 3 hours from Jakarta. Tomorrow morning, when the sun returned menuaikan job anyway I can still enjoy a hot bowl of meatballs.Maribaya indeed is one of the mainstay attraction for the administration of Bandung regency. This once famous tourist attraction with pemandaian hot water, but lately so drowned after hot water attraction pemadian Sari Ater - Subang in the open. Sari Ater tourist sites is much more strategic because it is located in Bandung-Subang highway.Visitors need not bother to deliberately go into tourist route and pass through the chaotic markets Lembang, as if about to visit Maribaya.It seems a group of young men were doing taking pictures / photos, do not care about clothes getting wet splash of waterAside from being a tourist hot spring, this location there are also sizeable waterfall. Omas waterfall, with a height of approximately 30 meters seems to also be a special attraction for tourists to visit there. The existence of two bridge facilities observers from the top and bottom also makes it easy for visitors to be able to more freely enjoy the waterfalls without fear of getting wet.

Visitors can also "lazy" in the area around the waterfall while lying on a mat being rented by hawker little. The little hawker also readily help book pengunung desired food to food vendors around. The air is cool and shady trees coupled with the thunderous sound of a distant waterfall, making this attraction visited on the day-end holiday or young pekan.Sekelompok moment seemed to frolic under a waterfall overflow. Some of the poses "silly" it seems clear to accompany the time of the shooting by one of his colleagues. Wet clothes biasan waterfalls, sara harden even more laughter and Senda guaru them: DThe first bridge is at the top of the waterfall Omas, allowing visitors to enjoy the waterfall overflow from close rangeAnother corner was cool looking group of visitors to feed the wild monkeys that existed at the location of this tour. The monkeys were sometimes bold enough to approach the visitor, expecting the throw food and scrambling with each other apes. Cried the little boy screamed with joy to see doings of the monkeys add to the existing bustling atmosphere.But some are looking to hide behind their parents legs when a monkey tried to get close.Overall, from my observations, Maribaya attraction appears to be more frequently visited as a tourist attraction than attraction waterfall hot spring baths. Indeed, there are still visitors who utilize the existing hot water in this attraction as one of the alternative treatment of some diseases, but when viewed at a glance, visitors who come tend to enjoy the charm of a waterfall or relax under the shade of trees.

Some people in Probolinggo either in hotels or in which we ask our travel agent about this waterfall has never been admitted there. This is probably because of this waterfall which occurs when landslides or flooding, then we are at the bottom of the tube will be trapped.So are in the 'tube' is a feeling we will be mixed between awe at this natural beauty and misgivings. Seeing this condition is expected to occur if a landslide or flood, area attractions Madakaripura will be closed for visitors.After the main content and cold water, we can enjoy a hot drink in a stall near the waterfall before walking back toward the parking lot. In general, this place has managed quite well, can be achieved through the smooth asphalt roads, trails are convenient, public facilities such as bathrooms, mosques and parking lots. But the lack of information about this place and the security guarantees that there is no cause very few people know and want to visit this tourist area. With enough promotion, visitors will be able to add to the list Bromo tourist destination.
