   1h · Admission ticket included
   The temple (pura in Balinese) is built at the edge (ulu) of a 70-meter-high (230 ft) cliff or rock (watu) projecting into the sea.
   In folklore, this rock is said to be part of Dewi Danu's petrified barque.
   Though a small temple was claimed to have existed earlier, the structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century.
   Another sage from East Java, Dang Hyang Nirartha is credited for constructing the padmasana shrines and it is said that he attained moksha here, an event called ngeluhur ("to go up") locally.
   This has resulted in the temple's epithet Luhur.
   
   The temple is inhabited by monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), who are notorious for snatching visitors' belongings.
   They can usually be persuaded into trading the items for fruit, although this only encourages them to steal more.
   
   Scientists and experts on primate behavior have conducted studies on the Macaque monkeys in the area and have collected data suggesting that they learn bartering behavior.
   This trade is passed down to the young offspring. New groups of Macaque monkeys introduced into the area quickly adapt and learn new skill from the locals.
