Ciletuh Geopark area offers a number of interesting tourism attractions that are located close to each other. Walking around this tourism area is an interesting activity that can be done on weekends. If the trip starts from Jakarta, the distance to the first tourism spot by car is 161 kilometers, or about 4 hours 36 minutes. To avoid congestion, it is better if the trip starts in the morning at around 06:00 WIB. Don't forget to have breakfast and check on your private car to keep your trip safe. You can start a road trip at Geopark Cileuteuh the next day at Puncak Darma and enjoy the sunrise which makes the road trip experience even more enjoyable. From there, various views can be seen from Ciletuh Bay, which is shaped like a horseshoe, rows of cliffs, rice fields to Ciletuh Geopark beach.

After enjoying the view at Puncak Darma, you can continue your journey to Curug Dogdog which is only 1.5 kilometers or about four minutes by car. Curug Dogdog is located in Cimarinjung Village, Ciemas District. This tourism spot has a beautiful rock formation. However, you are not recommended to climb these rocks because the rocks are very slippery. There is a small pool with a very beautiful waterfall. You can enjoy the beauty of the waterfall while enjoying your lunch at a stall that is available in the area. The next tourism spot that can be visited is Cimarinjung waterfall in Ciemas District. The distance from Curug Dogdog is 800 meters or about two minutes by motor vehicles. Even though the location is more remote, the waterfall which is on the border of Girimukti Village and Ciwaru Village has its own charm. Being in a remote area makes Cimarinjung waterfall has fresh water. However, you are advised not to play its water because the water flow is quite heavy. To end the first day of the road trip, you can stay at Vanada Bugeul on Jalan Cimarinjung, Ciwaru, Ciemas District.

The second day, you can start your trip to Palangpang Beach to see sunrise, go fishing or buy fresh fish from the local fish auction or take pictures at the Ciletuh Geopark monument. This tourism spot is located 850 meters from the lodging or about two minutes by car. Then, you can continue your adventure to cross to Kunti Island by renting a boat for Rp 400,000. The boat can accommodate more than seven people. Boat rentals can be found in the Ciwaru area. The scenery on this island is extraordinarily beautiful. The island faces directly to the Indian Ocean and has a beautiful stretch of white sand. There are also rocks that arise on the sand. After enjoying lunch in the Ciwaru area, you can go straight to Ujung Genteng Beach, located in Gunung Batu Village, Ciracap District. This sloping beach is surrounded by trees that makes the tourism area look beautiful. Apart from playing the sea water or relaxing on the beach and enjoying the beautiful stretch of white sand, you can also do selfies in a number of ruins of the buildings that were left over from the Dutch era.

After playing at the beach, you can go directly to Teletubbies Hill which is located only 4 kilometers or about 13 minutes from Ujung Genteng Beach. The panorama of the beautiful green hills is similar with the hills in the children's film television series, Teletubbies. The difference is that  there is a lake there which makes the expanse of the savanna look more attractive. While you are there, besides being able to take pictures, you can also have a picnic around the lake while enjoying the view. In addition, you can also set up a tent if you want to take a break before starting your trip to the next tourism spot. During a pandemic like this time, make sure that when you visit, you still obey the health protocols to prevent Covid-19, namely by wearing a mask, washing your hands with soap, keeping your distance, and not traveling if you have a fever or body temperature above 37.3 degrees Celsius.
