Getting Around Cianjur
Use Gojek for shortest waits; Grab tends to have fewer drivers outside Cianjur. Confirm the driver knows the guesthouse location—it's near the Cibodas waterfall trailhead.
Book a prepaid taxi from the official counter inside the arrivals hall to avoid haggling. Expect traffic jams near Cianjur town centre after 4pm.
Take the airport train to Manggarai, then switch to a Bogor-bound KRL. At Bogor station, take a green angkot to Baranangsiang terminal, then a Cianjur bus. Most efficient if you're already near the city.
Take Damri bus to Bogor Baranangsiang terminal (50,000 IDR), then catch an angkot to Cianjur (10,000 IDR) from the same terminal. Angkots stop early, so start by 3pm.
