Considered as one of the highest and beautiful waterfalls in the Philippines, this single tiered waterfalls is definitely a most welcome oasis right in the middle of thick bushes and huge towering ferns and cogons amid a trail of sharp rock formations and stiff climb. Tall in all its regalia is about 150 meters high of cascading waterfalls bordered between huge rock walls on each side and crowned with lush flora and fauna. The welcoming icy mists of the waterfalls, as one enters the area, is as soothing as the serenity of the entire wonder with only the rapid rush of waters from high above blended with the musical chirping of wild birds hovering gently around and the swaying sound of the trees can be heard. The colors of the earth amid a perfect weather is all too inviting to ignore the lure of the waterfalls' natural pool of icy cold, crystal clear waters at the basin. It is a heavenly landscape to behold and a moment to be one with Mother Nature. Read More
