Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car, start by heading towards Gowa Regency. From Makassar, take the Jl. Poros Malino road heading southeast. Follow the signs for Malino and continue on this road for about 1.5 hours. As you approach Malino, watch for signs directing you to the Takapala Waterfall. You'll need to turn onto a smaller road that leads you to the waterfall. The last 10 kilometers may be on a bumpy road, so drive carefully. Park your vehicle at the designated parking area near the waterfall entrance.
-
Public Transportation
To reach Takapala Waterfall via public transportation from Makassar, take a minibus or a bus heading to Malino. These buses leave from the Malengkeri terminal in Makassar. The ride will take approximately 2 hours. Once you arrive in Malino, you can hire a local ojeg (motorcycle taxi) to take you the remaining distance to the waterfall. The ojeg ride will cost around 20,000 - 30,000 IDR. Be sure to negotiate the price before getting on. The last part of the journey will be on a smaller road, so prepare for a bumpy ride.
-
Walking
After parking your car or arriving via ojeg, you will need to walk approximately 1 kilometer down a well-marked trail to reach Takapala Waterfall. The trail is surrounded by lush nature, so take your time and enjoy the scenery. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as the path can be uneven and slippery in some areas. Follow the signs leading to the waterfall, and you’ll soon hear the sound of rushing water guiding you to your destination.
