The thing is Tamborasi River has short size, which is 20 m in length and 15 meters in width. With this fact, Tamborasi becomes the 2nd shortest river in the world following Georgia’s Reprua River. Despite this thing, the river is quite beautiful with its nature scenery. Not to mention the location is considered unique and it appears like a lake. In fact, some people often get confused whether it is a river or not and they come to the river to take some pictures. Thanks to those unique features.

The water comes from a fountain located in the nearby rocky hill. The color is green and it feels quite refreshing, which is similar to that of the lake. In terms of location, the river is located near to Tamborasi Beach (only a few meters of it). That means tourists are able to visit two different tourist spots at once. On top of that, the water feels different from each location. The beach offers warm water, while the river offers cold and fresh water. Thus, you can choose in which location you are going to swim.

Apart from the lush of nature and fresh water, Tamborasi River also holds an urban legend. According to the locals, those who are able to tie a knot to the trees’ root located in the river bed would be blessed by a long lasting relationship. Still, it is only a legend. That means no one can prove it. Another interesting attraction is the golden monkeys. They are rarely seen, though. You are considered lucky if you encounter one while exploring the river.
