Green Canyon is situated at the Kertayasa Village, at the Ciamis Regency, West Java Province, about 31 km or forty-five minutes drive from Pangandaran Beach. Originally called Cukang Taneuh –the regional Sundanese meaning for Soil Bridge– Green Canyon has 3 meters broad bridge made up of dirt above the twin shore on both riverbanks. This natural wonder is indeed a scene you won’t find anywhere else. The name ‘Green Canyon’ is believed to be dubbed by a tourist who came to the location in 1993. It’s stated that the green water of the river and the green moss on the cliff had given its popular name.
As you arrive in the main entry, which is the parking lot of Green Canyon, you will see a row of wooden boats commonly called Ketinting, lining up by the river. Then the keting will then take you on a ride down the river, dividing the green water and producing Small wave on both sides. From the boat, you may see green forest trees across the banks, and sometimes snakes or lizards jumping in the river, or develop to surface.
