Campuhan Antapan is located right down the road from Leke Leke Waterfall, an Insta-famous waterfall to which many influencers flock. Leke Leke is definitely a lovely waterfall, but honestly, I preferred Campuhan Waterfall by far. Campuhan Antapan is a lot more laid-back and less-visited — it was only us and a group of two local…
