Curated by Condé Nast Traveler with Oceania Cruises | Featured Editor’s Tip: Bali’s waterfalls are legendary, but then again so are its omnipresent temples. The best of both can be found at the otherworldly and little-known temple Pura Taman Pecampuhan Sala (Abuan, Susut, Bangli Regency), a 90-minute drive north of Ubud open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Studded with more than a dozen unique shrines, intricately carved sculptures and water spouts, and misty natural falls, the holy Hindu site winds around the meeting point of two rivers and smells of persistently burning incense. Ringing bells and chanting add to the ambiance. For a small donation, a local guide from Sala village leads adventurous, sarong-clad visitors through a very wet and very beautiful melukat purification ceremony, which involves ritualistic washing, meditation, and wish making. Bliss is not guaranteed, but it’s likely.
