This valley is part of a fault that separates the island of Sumatra into two elongated parts, or what is called the Semangko Fault. Along the fault, the walls are very steep, forming a green valley which is the result of the movement of the earth's crust (synclinal).

This tourist attraction actually received an award as The Best Tourism Object in the Padang Tourism Award 2007. Well, want to know just what you can find when you vacation here? Come on, see more!
