Trip to Cebu - Day3 - Kawasan Falls

After checking Moalboal, we finally headed to the other popular destination in Cebu City - the Kawasan Falls. It is located 130 kilometers southwest of Cebu City and about 3 hours bus ride, inside the mountains of Barangay Matutinao, Cebu (source: http://www.kawasanfalls.net/).

Kawasan Falls

From the entrance/parking area, we walked an easy uphill path to reach the waterfalls. We were informed that we could climb uphill to reach the second falls, but we decided to stay and enjoy the "first" waterfalls. We rented a table that's very close to the pool for Php 500.00 and my parents immediately prepared kinilaw na bulinao. We immediately feasted on the food and had our stomachs full.

For those who can't swim, life vests are available for rent for Php 100.00. There were also rooms/cottages for those who want to stay overnight. As expected, food prices sold in the falls premises are higher compared to their prices outside. So it's better to bring your own food.

On our way to the falling waters

Finally, we tested the water. It was indeed very cold and very refreshing. Some areas are good for children while adults can go deeper closer to the falling waters. Our best experience was when we rented their bamboo raft and went closer to the falling water. Actually, it's more than that. The raft maneuvered around the falling waters and we had to lie down to fit into the low ceiling of rocks. It was indeed very fun! Highly recommended for groups/families.

We made it!

We left Kawasan Falls before dark and had fallen asleep on our way back to Cebu City. It was indeed very memorable!
