Here, many local residents who volunteered to be a 'guide' who will accompany her to tell the history of these attractions until we return to the parking lot.

Next we had to walk about 15 minutes, through a path made of gravel so that the cement will not be slippery when wet. When this walk we were also treated to beautiful scenery and cool, right next to us there is a rocky stream, we are flanked on either side of the high cliffs with lush trees and its accompaniment of chirping birds and beetles derikan. Sometimes in some parts of the road, blocked by fallen trees or no trace of an avalanche, however this road is relatively flat and can be lived with ease, if exhausted some places along the road that sits down to rest.

Some people in both the hotel and Probolinggo in which we ask our travel agent about this waterfall claimed to have never been there. This is probably because it forms the waterfalls that if 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 mingle between the natural beauty of this awe and anxiety. Seeing this condition is expected to occur if a landslide or flood, area attractions will be closed for this Madakaripura visitors.

Satisfied after the water main and the cold, we can enjoy a hot drink at the cafe nears the waterfall before walking back toward the parking lot. In general, this place has managed quite well, can be reached by smooth asphalt roads, paths are convenient, public facilities such as bathrooms, a mosque and a park. But the lack of information about this place and no security guarantees resulted in 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.
