Java, do not forget to visit Cuban

Rondo. Cuban Rondo is a must-see

waterfall because of it spectacular

scenery. The first amazing natural

charm to enjoy is the huge greenish

rock. The gigantic rock and its

vegetation that surrounds the waterfal

soar high into the sky. The top of the

rock bends inward so that when we

stand close to the waterfal, we will feel

as if we were inside of a gigantic cave

or a bowl giant. The greatness of the

nature will make you feel very small

and price God The second scenery to

enjoy is the waterfall itself. from the

top of the soaring rock, huge amount

of water continuously falls down,

splash on the large black stones at

the bottom of the waterfall, and forms

a shallow small lake and stream. The

water in the lake and stream crystal clear and icy cold. The wind

that blow the falling water and the splash produce millions of tiny

droplets of water. The wind can blow your boat. The droplets covers

the small lake and visitors in mist. Yes, you will get wet. But you

can go to the mall. When the sunlight shine through the cold tiny

droplets, you will see rainbows on the earth, not in the sky, that

seems close enough to you the senery is breathtaking. End the trip

with something that can warm you up. In the rest area, you can buy
roasted sweet corns. If that is not enough, you can also buy drinks

hot delicious and meatball soup hot. When you go home, leave

nothing in the area but your footsteps and bring home only your

memory unforgettabel about the beautiful Cuban Rondo Waterfall.
