Anyway just follow the straight course of the main road. When in doubt can ask peduduk around them will be happy to show direction.

Arriving at the post, the vehicle was parked. These posts form of houses that have tavern. Enough to pay Rp 3,000 per person entrance and parking Rp 2,000 per motorcycle, was able to embark on a journey

To get the location, can only be reached by walking alone, quite easily, the existing track, no roads or derivative climb sharply, just down the plantation society. Just follow the trail to meet up with the flow of the river. The road was straight and there is no intersection.
