Beji Guwang Canyon (Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang) is a natural gorge with uniquely shaped cliffs, located in the village of Guwang near Denpasar, in the northeast of Bali. The canyon stretches along the Beji River and impresses visitors with its beauty: sheer cliffs up to 30 meters high, lush tropical vegetation, and ever-changing landscapes.

Canyon features

  • Origin: The gorge was formed over thousands of years by the river eroding volcanic rocks.
  • Sacred place: The canyon is considered sacred by the locals. Nearby are the temples Pura Dalem Guwang and Beji Pura Dalem Desa Guwang, which are closed to tourists.
  • Landscapes: Each turn opens up new views—unusual rock formations, hanging lianas, turquoise water in the dry season, or muddy-brown currents during the rains.
