About this audio guide
This guide to Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall in Bali starts in 2017, with fifty villagers from Wanagiri hauling bamboo through the mud to build the trail down into this valley before a single visitor had arrived. It explains the name, life-giving water of the jungle, and the sacred nectar it references from Balinese Hindu myth, then follows the founders clearing rock pools by hand and lashing together bamboo bridges over the creek. You'll pass the first, barely-a-trickle tier and one you can walk behind, curtained by falling water, on the way down through the banana groves. Listen for how the trail keeps descending past a streaked black rock face.
