It took us 1.5 hours to reach the relaxed travel Cangkuang Situ. After three motorcycles parked in front of the main door, we went inside to pay the ticket USD 2000 per person. In front of us lay a landscape Situ Cangkuang, rural atmosphere was calm and peaceful. On the other side lies Cangkuang temple and a traditional village, Kampung Pulo name. Right in front of us there are dozens of boats of bamboo that can be used to cross, the charge USD 3000 per person.

We were rushed to the interests of each of us, with cameras in hand we take pictures we liked, including our own photograph. Posed in the boat seemed quite interesting, so here’s one picture taken with my Nikon D70s camera plus a 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens Om’s Meon. So I asked permission to shoot, hopefully pleasing.
Once you are satisfied with their toys, we hired a boat to take us across. While Mr. Danang name, run the boat, we were kept busy with Nikon, Canon, Olympus, and Sony Ericsson that we hold each other. It turned out that the lake is deep probably only about 2 meters is also used by fishermen for catching fish.
We had finally landed on the other side. Right in front of us looked Cangkuang Temple site, surrounded by gardens. Because maybe it was still morning, we were not able to enter into the Hindu temple area. We walked on the edge of the park to the Kampung Pulo, an indigenous village that only has 7 buildings should be no more no less. We were given an explanation by Mr. Danang who doubles as tour guide. Here it is customary village atmosphere is taken using a Nikon D50 plus Nikkor 18-55 mm Om’s Meon,
