The pools of Mata Ie



After visiting 2 more tomb areas or complexes we went to a nearby tourist attaction.






Welcome to Mata Ie. There are frest waters pools for swimming and dipping.








The waters here originated from a nearby underground source.








Mata Ie are Aceh words for the Malay "Mata Air". Literally this can be translated as eye (mata) of water (air) referring to a source of water from the ground.





The water is said to come out from a hole somewhere up the hill behind. That is why the place is called Mata Ie...
