One thing that I don’t like about visiting waterfalls is the trekking part. Most of the waterfalls that I wanted to visit is I have to trek for several minutes just to get there. But of course, seeing the beauty of the waterfalls is worth the walk.
Swimming in waterfalls is good, especially during summer, because you will really enjoy the cold water. Sharing with you the waterfalls that I’ve visited, I don’t have pictures of some waterfalls because I don’t have my own camera during that time. Hehehe!
1. Daranak Falls - it is the first falls that I’ve visited. We had a church excursion, which our family joined. Some people say that Daranak Falls is where the “Starzan” movie was filmed. It is a popular tourist spot in Tanay, Rizal, and it is one of the nearest waterfalls in the metro.
2. Kawasan Falls - this falls is located in Badian, Cebu, the first falls that I’ve visited in Visayas. I spent one week in Cebu with my church friends. It was my first domestic travel via plane. Kawasan Falls is one of the tourist spots that we visited, and since it is far from the city, we had an overnight trip.
3. Three Falls - When I was in my third year of college, I became a member of Haribon-UST, now Earth-UST. One of the activities of the organization is a clean-up drive in different places. Three Falls is located in Sta Maria, Laguna, and the first out-of-town activity that I joined in an organization.
4. Mt Pico de Loro Waterfalls - this is also one of the activities of our organization. We’re supposed to climb Mt. Pico de Loro, but we were not able to push through because when we were having lunch at the waterfalls, rain began to pour, biglang taas ang tubig at nagmadali kami makaalis. It's better to be safe than sorry. But my ex-boyfriend, now husband, was able to reach the summit during their trip. It is located in Maragondon, Cavite.
5. Katibawasan Falls - it is the first falls that I’ve visited in Mindanao. It is situated in Mambajao, Camiguin. It is 250 feet high and the tallest waterfall that I’ve visited so far. Sa sobrang taas niya, putol ang kuha ko lagi. We did not swim here because we’re on our way to Cagayan de Oro.
6. Taytay Falls - it is located in Majayjay, Laguna, which is also known as Majayjay Falls or Imelda Falls. We did not stay long during our trip because the place was crowded and my son couldn't take the cold water.
7. Pinlac Falls - When we stayed at Gina’s Garden and Farm, one of the nearest tourist spots is Pinlac Falls, which is located in Infanta, Quezon. It was more or less 15 15-minute drive from the garden, so we paid a visit. The entrance fee is PHP30, and there are tables and chairs where you can stay. There are falls for kids and adults.

Care to share your waterfalls trip?
That's a lot of waterfalls you have visited. I have seen Pagsanjan Falls when I was very little, and the latest was Ditumabo Falls in Baler.
ReplyDeleteGoing to Pagsanjan Falls is not cheap, I think the rate is almost P1k per person just to get there. But this is in my bucket list. :)
Deletedami mo na pala napuntahan waterfalls:)

ReplyDelete@doctor eammer and @melgie - yes, Kawasan Falls is beautiful but I'm not sure if ganun pa rin. It's been years since the last time I visited.
ReplyDeleteI miss waterfalls! There were so many waterfalls in Iligan City where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I've never been to any of these falls. Sana mabisita ko kahit 3 man lang dito. :D
