Tapa Tapa's footprint is on a cliff overlooking the sea. To get to this site first we have to walk through the steps on the edge of the cliff and the rocks of various sizes from small to large.

I suggest for visitors who want to come to this place using comfortable shoes or sandals in use because the terrain must pass through the rocks and in some parts quite slippery. The management has built the stairs to facilitate visitors on foot.

During the trip, you will be treated to a charming view. The vast expanse of the ocean with the waves rolling non-stop. The view of the green mountains will also spoil our eyes.

As we walked through the stairs, we could see the harbor with the ships that were leaning. What a beautiful sight. At the end of the stairs we will find a gazebo building a place to rest. For those who like photos of this place can also be a very photogenic place with a vast ocean background.

After passing stairs we will pass the rocks big and small. Here please be careful because the stone is slippery. Do not be afraid to get lost because there is a sign of his direction.

After passing through the rocks we will see a wooden staircase and a wooden building. This indicates that we have reached Tapak Tuan Tapa. Go up to the wooden building then you will be able to see the legendary footprint of the legend.

The site is situated on a cliff overlooking the vast ocean of blue nan. The fatigue of walking on stairs and rocks paid off with the magnificent view of God's painting.

The footprint is large enough. In addition to the beauty of the scenery, where the site also keeps interesting stories behind its history. Narrated in ancient times lived a powerful ascetic named Shaykh Tuan Tapa who is very obedient to God.

Some people believe that Shaykh Tuan Tapa has a pious body, but some other people believe that he is a normal human with a normal size but has the power to transform himself into a giant.

Once upon a time there were two gigantic dragons from china finding a baby girl drifting in the middle of the ocean. They then take care of the baby girl until adulthood. The real parent of the baby girl is the king of the Asralanoka Kingdom.

They know that their daughter is still alive and is in the hands of two gigantic dragons. Then they ask back his daughter, but rejected by the dragon because they already love.

The king then took the princess run. The dragon who knows it becomes angry. The dragons and kings chased each other in the middle of the sea until they reached the hermitage of Tuan Tapa.

Feeling annoyed, Tuan Tapa woke from a hermit and jumped from the mountain to the coastal cliff. The current footprint is believed to be the former footprint of Mr. Tapa when jumping from the mountain.

Tuan Tapa can finally defeat the two gigantic dragons and the princess returns to his family's arms. They finally did not return to the kingdom, but settled in Aceh. If curious about the beauty of Tapak Tapa Tapa, let's visit this place.
