General information:
    * An interesting one-day trip from Labuan Bajo, West Flores
    * Located approximately 30 km east of Labuan Bajo
    * Total walking time to the Canyon 4 hours
    * Add an hour of walking if you wish to include a visit to the limestone caves
    * Beautiful canyon in a rain forest setting with many cascading waterfalls and limestone caves
    * Excellent swimming and high diving into the river’s pools
    * Access via interesting walk through village farmland and forests, .40 minutes’ walk from Wersawe village or 90 minutes from the main road
    * Liang Rodak limestone caves are another 60 minutes from the cascades

On the walk to the waterfall you will pass paddy fields in different stages of the planting and harvesting cycle of rice crops. Vanilla, coffee candle nut and cacao can also be seen along the trail. The last, steep part of the walk is down a trail in a tropical rain forest.

Directions:
Follow the main road from Labuan Bajo to Ruteng. After 26 km you will reach Cekonobo where you must turn left, heading downhill towards Wersawe village. The distance from the crossing to Wersawe is 4 km. The cobble-stone road is only passable by four-wheel-drive vehicles or Ojek (motorbike taxi).

For one-day trips we recommend walking from the main road to Wersawe village (50 minutes). From there, it takes another 40 minutes to the main waterfall. Many young local villagers are eager to act as your guides.

Follow the beautiful canyon for 1 km downstream, enjoying beautiful swimming pools, cascades and a series of smaller waterfalls along the way. Daring swimmers can enjoy jumping from the canyon walls to the water holes. Be sure to check the depth of the water holes before diving and ask the local guide for the safest locations.

The services of a local guide are needed to combine a trip to Cunca Wulang with the Rodak limestone caves. The rough, single trail travels up and down through dense rain forest, taking about an hour to get from the canyon to the caves.
