According to information we can from a variety of media, because of the color green river so called Green Canyon. But according to our personal, most likely because it is called Green Canyon cliff rising from a pile of green moss.
Previously named Cukang Taneuh Green Canyon, which means the land bridge because of the bridge with a width of 3 meters and 40 meters long that connects the two villages namely Kertayasa Village and Village Batukaras.

Travel by motorized canoe down the river bercadik or Cijulang from the dock entrance Ciseureuh to take no more than 15 minutes. Along the way tersuguh stunning scenery. Cijulang river seemed calm. The river water is not green but brown. Perhaps because of recent frequent rains. Although it still looks clean and inviting anyone to throw themselves. On the right side and left many towering trees. Among them lined with beautiful palm trees.
The more upstream, the river began to narrow and lined the trees began to be replaced limestone cliffs. Several small waterfalls began to appear on the cliff side. The rate slowed down because the boat is also sometimes have to deal with the rocks that began to emerge from the stream.
Simultaneously the sound of thunder, before the eyes visible entrance to Green Canyon. It turns out a roar that comes from high waterfall about 2 meters that limit between fresh water and brackish water in front of the cave. We call it because of the stalactite cave is still left in the ceiling entrance and on the cliffs, past the Green Canyon cave seems to be a large hall whose roof later collapsed. So that seems now is the high cliffs that flank the river with sharp rocks at the bottom.
Without taking the tempo, we immediately prepare to swim. Wearing a life vest, took off shoes if deemed unfit to wear swimming, including securing the camera into a plastic box that we brought. The next story is an unforgettable swimming experience. Berbasah-basahan here had been previously imagined. But if you swim against the tide and dihimpit while grandeur of the cliffs where the beautiful canopy canopy-perch, "wow" is not enough. It's like climbing a mountain and feel 'satisfaction when you reach the top, even though we were just exploring the Green Canyon is not more than half.
