Curug Muara Jaya is a multi-tiered waterfall located on the slopes of Mount Ciremai at an elevation of approximately 1,500 meters above sea level. The waterfall consists of two primary levels, with the main drop reaching a height of roughly 73 meters. It is situated within the Argamukti village area, serving as a gateway for hikers approaching the Ciremai mountain trails. The site features a series of staircases that connect the lower pools to the base of the upper waterfall. The surrounding vegetation is characterized by pine forests and montane coffee plantations. Water flow is perennial, though volume fluctuates significantly based on rainfall patterns. The site is managed as part of the Mount Ciremai National Park buffer zone.
