Nestled within the Da Den mountain range, in Hoa My Tay Commune, Tay Hoa District of Phu Yen Province, Phun Abyss is approximately 35km from the city center of Tuy Hoa. This natural wonder derives its name from its distinctive geological structure. At the summit of the abyss, layers of solid rock formations stand prominently. From a height of 50 meters above sea level, streams cascade down the rugged rocks, creating foamy white water and generating an echoing sound that resonates throughout the surrounding mountainous forest.

Phun Abyss is encircled by majestic mountains and thousands of lush green trees, creating a picturesque landscape that is both romantic and grandiose. The abyss is characterized by towering cliffs stacked upon one another, and amidst the moss-covered rock formations, forest trees flourish abundantly, enhancing the natural beauty of this tranquil scenery.
