Aceh tourist attractions today are often viral in social media, just on facebook and instagram. One of them, the most hits river attractions in Aceh Besar. Pucok Krueng, a paradise hidden on the banks of Lhoknga. The pictures posted by travel-loving netizens caught my attention, because of their natural beauty. Personally I do have a strong sense of curiosity towards a tourist place that I have not visited, so yesterday I invited my friend to visit the place. All on holiday, since being a weekend.

The most hits river tourism location in Aceh Besar is not far from downtown Banda Aceh. Only about 17 kilometers to the West. By crossing the Banda Aceh - Meulaboh road, to Lhoknga District, exactly one kilometer before arriving at Andalas Cement Plant (Lafarge Cement), turn left. From the main hallway, we covered 4 kilometers to reach the destination. Access to get there through the rocks, not yet paved. It must be admitted, is a bit challenging. You guys should try it!
At first we all hesitated, want to reverse direction. But the curiosity is much more intense, we were wrestling to continue the journey. Several other visitors' vehicles met us. "Although the location belongs to the forest, there are also many who come here," I whispered to myself along the way.

Along the way to the tourist attractions Pucok Krueng, there are beautiful things that can be enjoyed. Rice fields yellow, two peasants are harvesting, while others rest on loom. I was amazed. Immediately I took the phone and immortalize this piece of beauty. Furthermore, the great-grandchild of birds and the sounds of other forest wildlife replied to greet everyone who came. From a distance that is not much, the mountain jung nan loomed our eyes. Until we arrived at the place we were headed.
I'm impatient, hurry to the water. Waa .. happy! As you can see, most of the hits in Aceh Besar this one is really beautiful. Swimming with water that is not rippled and green, sealed by rock cliffs that are so steep. The left-right we see the view is incredible. I was really amazed. Missing all the tiredness through a long journey, replaced by beautiful scenery in Pucok Krueng. One thing to be sure is, do not forget to bring a mobile phone or camera. If not, you can not capture this magnificent scene. Hehe
