Terapi Ikan-Mata Air Lembah Cibacang is a natural spring-fed pool complex located in the foothills of Mount Ciremai, West Java. The primary attraction is the community fish therapy, where visitors submerge their feet into pools filled with small tilapia and carp that nibble on dead skin cells. The water is sourced directly from a mountain spring, maintaining a consistent, cool temperature throughout the year. The site is arranged as a landscaped garden with wooden gazebos and seating areas situated along the water's edge. It serves as a local recreational spot that emphasizes traditional holistic wellness and outdoor relaxation. The facilities are integrated into the existing topography, utilizing the natural flow of the spring to refresh the pool water continuously. The site remains an active destination for locals seeking skin exfoliation and natural cooling during warm weather.
