About Green Canyon (Cukang Taneuh)
Green Canyon, locally known as Cukang Taneuh, is a river canyon on the Cijulang River in Cijulang, Pangandaran Regency, West Java. It is notable for its steep limestone cliffs, emerald-green water, and narrow gorge formed by long-term river erosion. Visitors access the canyon by boat from the Cukang Taneuh pier to view stalactites, small caves, and forested walls, making it one of Pangandaran's most visited natural attractions.
