One of the things that I truely like approximately Canggu is the bohemian subculture. As you discover Canggu you could locate masses of murals on the partitions and within the cafes and eating places. The mural on the Old’s man bar is one in all my favorites. You also can locate murals in the direction of Berawa and on the way to Old’s Man Surf spot. Some of the work of art are pretty funky, others are a piece extra difficult to understand.

In the frenzy to improvement Canggu has lost quite a few its rice fields, however you may nevertheless find a few. One of the high-quality locations to see what Canggu used to appear like is the shortcut. Everybody who lives in Canggu (and drives a motorcycle) generally loves the shortcut. The street connects Batu Bolong with Berawa and offers lovely, and surprising, perspectives of rice fields.
