The waterfall's distinct wide, flat ledge is a natural result of the Bekasi River flowing over sedimentary rock formations.
Locals nicknamed it 'Niagara of Bekasi' because its wide structure mirrors the famous North American falls on a miniature scale.
The waterfall is located in close proximity to the Bantar Gebang landfill, which influences the surrounding ecosystem and water conditions.
Water levels can rise drastically during the rainy season, leading to strong currents that make the water hazardous for swimming.
Curug Parigi is a natural waterfall located on the Bekasi River, often referred to as the 'Niagara of Bekasi' due to its wide, horseshoe-shaped ledge. The waterfall spans approximately 20 to 30 meters in width, creating a curtain-like cascade during high water levels. It is situated within a residential and industrial periphery of the Cikiwul district. The geological formation consists of sedimentary rock layers exposed by the river's path. Water quality is heavily dependent on upstream conditions and rainfall, which significantly influences visibility and color. The site serves as a local recreational space rather than a managed tourist park. Vegetation along the riverbanks provides some natural contrast to the surrounding urban environment.

Wear sturdy footwear with good grip as the riverbank area can be muddy and slippery.
Visit during the dry season for better water clarity and safer conditions along the river edges.
Bring your own supplies as there are limited facilities on-site.
Do not attempt to swim in the river, as water quality and strong undercurrents near the fall pose significant health and safety risks.
Practice 'leave no trace' principles; do not dispose of trash in the river or the surrounding natural area.
