Bantimurung Waterfall.
Bantimurung waterfall is located at the valley of the step limestone hill with its fertile tropical vegetation. Bantimurung waterfall is a government protected natural reserve and there a cool waterfall and surrounding forests and covers 1000 ha. There are many other caves in these cliffs but apart from the scenery which makes this area an ideal habitat for the type of butterflies and bird infamous for their rarity. The naturalist Alfred Wallace collected specimens here in the mid 1800's. Among the butterflies that he caught was the Papilo Androcles, one of the rarest and biggest, with a tail like a swallow.
