The riverbank rocks at Paraga Stone on the Cimedang River are quite different from the Curug Cimanintin waterfall destination: rocks with varied textures and formations sit alongside possible activities on the river. The area around Salopa also offers cultural attractions and tourism connections to Tanjungsari and Dewi Tanjungsari.
River Landscapes and a Waterfall Nearby
Paraga Stone is a natural formation of riverbank rocks on the Cimedang River in Kampung Bangbayang, Desa Mandalahayu, Kecamatan Salopa. The rocks have varied textures and formations, making the shape of the riverbank the main attraction. One access description directs visitors about 500 meters east along the riverbank from the Cimedang River, that is, downstream. The water is described as clear. If you use this route description to plan your visit, check local accessibility beforehand.
Possible activities at Paraga Stone include sharing a meal, cooking Nasi Liwet, swimming in the river, and fishing with rods or nets. Options range from preparing a meal together to activities in the water. The description thus covers not only the rock formation but also use of the river—a different focus from viewing the geological formations alone.
A 2019 development report gives access directions to Curug Cimanintin from two sides: Desa Tanjungsari and Desa Mulyasari. This differs from the access information for Paraga Stone: two locations are listed as directions for the waterfall, while Paraga Stone has an approximate distance along the riverbank. If you are planning a visit to either destination, check local accessibility in advance.
