It is mentioned that this waterfall consists of the main waterfall called Cibeureum Waterfall, and two other smaller waterfalls, Cidendeng and Cikundul Waterfalls.

Cibeureum Waterfall is the largest and shortest waterfall in this area. Its location is more open and near the shelter so that it is more crowded.

The name of Cibeureum comes from the Sundanese language which means red river. This name is taken from the red nuances of the cliff walls which are formed from the red moss that grows endemically there.
