Wanagama is a rehabilitation forest and it was stated as an Education Forest continues to grow and develop so that it has some tourist attractions visited by people, however impacted to the infiltration capacity. This research aimed to determine infiltration capacity in each tourist attraction area. Infiltration capacity and soil samples measurements were carried out at each tourist attraction areas with 3 replications for every slopes unit. Infiltration data was taken by using a double ring infiltrometer, whereas soil samples were taken by using soil ring samples. Then, Horton method was used for analyzing the infiltration data. The physical and chemical analysis of soil was conducted in the Soil Laboratory in Universitas Gadjah Mada. It was concluded that the infiltration capacity at all areas were lower than that of control: in Wanagama 1000 Selfies was 112 mm / hour, WanagamaPaksi was 76 mm / hour, around Wanagama Bridge was 52 mm / hour, Camping Ground was 36 mm / hour, and control was 368 mm / hour in average. Furthermore, the infiltration capacity of the tourist activities areas in Wanagama and the control area were significantly different. However, the soil properties do not significantly influence the infiltration capacity.
