Location : Gua Maria Sanggau, Kota Sanggau, Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia.

The venue of the Sanggau Betang Gawai was very hot and dusty due partly to the time of the year and partly the lack of trees and plants. After our second day activities were done with, we hurried in the direction of the town to have a dip at a very popular waterfall near town.

But as we were heading there the huge sign of the Gua Maria caught our attention and just as well we turned into the 2km gravel road to have a look. This Gua Maria came with a waterfall going by the signage.

The place was quiet when we arrived at the carpark. A short trail brought us to a steep concrete staircase.

Unfortunately, the tempting pool was out of bounds, no swimming allowed said a sign.
