That morning, the sun was rising. Our matic motorcycle stopped under a shady tree, right beside the river dam belonging to Drien Berumbang Village, Kuala Batee Sub-district, Southwest Aceh District, early January.
Aceh is known as one of the areas with abundant natural wealth. Both mountain products, and oceans. Not only rich in natural products, this portland Makkah also save the tourist destinations that pamper the eyes.
isata in Aceh is not only about the beach, such as Iboih Sabang beach, beach on Pulau Banyak Singkil that make click amazed. Aceh also keeps a panoramic view of natural tourist destinations in the jungles of Aceh's forests, one of which is like a seven-level waterfall in Aceh Barat Daya.
The roar of water greeted. Several kinds of birds fun chirping, as if welcoming the arrival of Okezone and Eki Priadi-a landscape photographer at the time. Our goal to tour the seven-storey waterfall is still beautiful, hiding behind the tropical forest blanket area with the nickname Breuh Padee Sigupai this. Local people familiarly mentioned this waterfall by the name, Ceuraceu, which means a cool place and fun to relax.
Going to Ceuraceu, from Banda Aceh City to Blangpidie, the local capital, tourists have to travel approximately six hours by riding a two-wheeled vehicle or four wheels. Then from Blangpidie travelers continue the trip by vehicle to the Village Drien Beurumbang which is approximately 14 kilometers.
However, when heading to Ceruaceu, we can not use the vehicle. Travelers should park their vehicle in a place that has been determined by local residents. One of them is like the parking lot of our vehicle.
To enjoy the panoramic view of this tropical rain forest, visitors take approximately 45 minutes on foot to follow the flow of the river rocks, occasionally you are also forced to climb the loe. Do not be surprised, though quite draining, pejalanannya also exciting. Turning left and right, the green of the trees in the residents' plantations seemed to blanket you, cool.
Before arriving in Ceuraceu, first you find some other tourist sites such as Batee Saneuk, Tuwie Kereunda and others. Not awkward, Eki instantly capture images with his camera with a slow-speed setting. "Steady results Lis," he said while looking at the picture to me.
Not linger, we continue the journey. Sweat pouring, breath ngos-ngosan pays off with the beauty of nature offered Ceuraceu. Waterfall with a height of approximately 10 meters to welcome us, on the third level. "It's really beautiful," Eki said as he pulled out his tape recorder.
Not only in the third level, we also climbed up to the seventh level, which also has a waterfall with varying heights.
Treat this unspoiled natural scenery look far from the naughty touch of a human hand. Not only that, the eye perspective is also spoiled with the beauty of water flowing softly on the rocks, patterned like dragon scales. If it's over there the air makes you freeze. "The springs are only the size of a drum," said Marhaban, Head of the Drieun Village Berumbang, some time ago.
Then, why is this tour named Ceuraceu? "There is a bath, water and the weather is also very cold, maybe that's the reason why named Ceuraceu," continued Marhaban.
Marhaban said, ten years ago, Ceuraceu is forbidden to visit for non-muhrim couples. It is feared that no unwanted things happen. "It can not be controlled, because it is far from the crowds," he said.
However, Ceuraceu is now open to everyone. This resort is managed by local gampong officials and youth. When there are visitors who mixed between men and women it will be accompanied by villagers.
"If the government makes a good access road for this tour, of course it is a very good breakthrough, it will facilitate the public to control visitors," said Marhaban.
This place is perfect for you who like traveling. If to Ceuraceu do not forget to bring instant noodles to eat under this waterfall. Also for those of you who like photography, it also fits this to fill your camera frame, like this Eki. Wait let alone let's go to Aceh Barat Daya!
