KOTO GADANG
is a small, attractive village situated on the western edge of the Ngarai Sianok Canyon, with plenty of small silver workshops and shops. Though you can get local transport to the village, many people try to find the route from Bukittinggi by foot that starts off down Jalan Tengku Nan Renceh, and then heads along a footpath to the footbridge across the river and up the steps on the other side of the canyon. Be aware that there's a well-orchestrated scam, with local people refusing to point the way and hapless tourists being led by young lads on a two-hour rough trek through the canyon, for which they expect payment.
