Falling into the Petanu valley with relentless force, Tegenungan’s cascade carries centuries of ritual and legend, its spray painting the gorge with the whispers of kings and cursed rivers.

Hidden in a lonely ravine between the Petanu and Pakrisan Rivers, the ruins of this unique 14th-century rock relief lay buried for centuries under volcanic eruptions and vegetation. The site was excavated by Dutch authorities in 1925 and in 1949, a stone gutter was cemented on top in order to drain off water, to prevent erosion and vegetation from taking hold, revealing even more of the stone mural.
