It was a fine day when we departed from home with one goal in mind, to reach this wonderful place and experience its atmosphere for the first time.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by cheerful staff and have ourselves registered at its entrance office.
The adventure began… We drove up to the hill to see the man-made swimming pool.
To those who want to stay overnight or longer, there were cottages ready and are available for rent near the man-made koi pond.
After some photos were taken around the pond, we head down to the first falls where we ate our packed lunch, bought some popsicles for dessert and prepared for a hike.
The first falls (which was crowded by visitors that day) was just by the road but we want to reach the other falls…
And the hike began; it was scenic and enjoyable.
The third and fourth Falls… The first four falls were tiny and shallow but they were unique and beautiful in every way.
The fifth and sixth Falls were taller but they were not very easy to reach. Their location was on the rocky and dangerous part of the trail, to say the least.
And we hiked all the way to see this… a twin falls..but before that, we were greeted by the locals who were also enjoying the falls and the view.
We enjoyed the journey and most of all the destination…
The location is home to different species of flora and fauna unique to a tropical country, like ours. Even though we did not see them, we were treated by their joyous and constant chirping while hiking back to the first falls. Truly it was an unforgettable and nicely shared experience with friends.
