Menakjubkan, itulah yang ada di fikiran saya ketika berada disebuah lembah yang dikelilingi tebing - tebing batu granit yang menjulang tinggi. Sungguh lembah yang subur. Hamparan sawah yang hijau dengan air sungai yang mengalir jernih. Lembah itu bernama Lembah Harau.

[Amazing, that's is in my mind when I was in a valley, surrounded with granite cliffs. A prosperous valley with grenny paddy fields and clearly waters of the river. The valley is called Harau Valley].

Lembah Harau ini merupakan kawasan cagar alam. Luasnya 669 ha. Sebenarnya, selain kaya akan tanah yang subur, di lembah ini ada beberapa air terjun. Yang terkenal adalah air terjun Bunta. Sayangnya saat kemari sedang kemarau, sehingga debit air terjun sedikit.
