Close to Tongging vilage there was Sipiso-piso waterfalls, which can be reach by walk down about 1 km from Penatapan Tongging. It was a hard walk because we should walk down to reach bottom of waterfalls. The view from there was amazing and gives a deep feeling. Height of the waterfalls is about 130 metres !
