The waterfall is part of an integrated park development that utilizes engineered water management to ensure the cascade remains visible during the dry season.
The site was formerly known as Bojong Koneng Waterfall before being integrated into the Sentul Paradise Park recreational complex.
The swimming pool at the base is man-made, utilizing the waterfall's overflow to create a controlled environment for visitors.
Bidadari Waterfall is a multi-tiered attraction located within the Sentul Paradise Park complex in Bogor Regency. The site features a main waterfall plunging into an artificial pool designed for swimming and recreation. The water source is primarily managed to maintain flow throughout the year, even during drier months. The surrounding area is developed with tourist facilities including walking paths, changing rooms, and seating areas. The waterfall is situated in the hilly terrain of West Java, approximately 500 meters above sea level. Visitors can access the base of the cascade where the swimming area is located. The park infrastructure supports high-volume weekend tourism, though facilities show signs of age consistent with a high review count. It is situated on the edge of the Sentul highland plateau, providing access to nearby forest vistas.
