Phu Cuong waterfall is located only 44km from Pleiku city. From the city center to the southeast through Ham Rong Mountain, running along Highway 14, tourists will reach the administrative center of Chu Se district, then turn left along Highway 25 for about 5km further to see the waterfall, according to Nhan Dan.

The road leading to the waterfall is surrounded by boundless forests and rubber plantations. The rubber is said to bring high economic efficiency. Chu Se rubber plantation in the leaves-shedding season is as beautiful as the scenery of autumn in temperate countries.

Previously, to get down to the waterfall’s foot, tourists must go on a rickety wooden bridge, but now it is upgraded into iron one with sturdy handrails.

One interesting thing is that Phu Cuong waterfall flows on the lava base of a million-hundred-year-old volcano which is inactive now. Underneath the waterfall is countless multi-shaped black stones, the volcanic remnant.
