Have you heard about one of tourists attraction in Sijunjung regency, West Sumatra? Indeed some of us rarely hear the existence of a tourist attraction in Sijunjung Regency. Whereas natural tourist attraction in this area have spectacular view.
One of the famous tourist object in Sijunjung Regency is in Silokek area. Sijunjung Regency located about 3 hour from Padang, the capital city of West Sumatera. If we gor to Silokek Area. first we have to travel along at the edge of Kuantan river with stunning views along the road. Starting from the composition of the towering cliffs at the riverside with a sturdy, is overgrown with natural trees will impress Kuantan’s River is flowing beneath steep canyons in the deep forest. Occasionally on the way we will hear the roar of machine who used to find lots of gold in this river route. Even according local residents, many of them come from Kalimantan Province to try his fortune in this stream of Kuantan’s river.
On the way we really enjoying variety of natural scenery is so amazing. The hills of coral that stands firmly located along the riverside is very fascinating. These cliffs forming a beautiful canyons with streams of Kuantan’s River underneath. According to some information from local people, these cliffs are often used by groups of nature lovers to do the rock climbing training. So if you love this sport, this is the right place. In addition, the rushing streams of water flow suitable for doing rafting or whitewater rafting and finish point can be done in white sand of Silokek areas. Because the river is wide and fast-flowing rapids, once one of Dutch engineers “Ir. De Greve” surveyed here for the possibility of making kuantan’s rivers as a coal haul road through the river route from Batang Ombilin, Sawahlunto to Riau. De Greve unfortunately failed in this survey.
After that we will find the view that contrast between the steep cliffs with fine white sand on the riverside. “What a spectacular sight”, although the sand is located on the edge of the river and in the forest but this stretch so beautiful like stretch of sand at the edge of the ocean. While relaxing on white sand, we could feel the power of God who created the beauty of nature in Silokek.
