Cukang Taneuh, which means Soil Bridge in Sundanese, is a canyon located in Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia. It is also known as Green Canyon. The name may have been derived from the color of the surrounding water and hills.

The canyon was formed over millions of years by the Cijulang River, which is flanked by two rocky cliffs with trees above it.

To reach the canyon, visitors have to rent a rowboat from the Ciseureuh dock. The boats operate daily from 7.30 am to 4.00 pm. The journey of 3 km to the entrance of Cukang Taneuh takes approximately 30 – 45 minutes. To enter the canyon, visitors must swim the rest of the way.

The entrance to the canyon is shaped like a cave, which opens up revealing a river between two cliffs. There is a small waterfall at this entrance called Palatar. Many more waterfalls can be seen along these cliffs.

The canyon also supports recreational activities such as body rafting, climbing, swimming, boating, and fishing. Other tourist destinations near this location include Batukaras and Pangandaran Beach.
