The river trekking adventures site was formally launched on October 2, 2012, attended by city officials and employees headed by Mayor Peter Miguel, the land, the landowners in Sitio (pronounced si-ohk), members of the media, and some nature enthusiasts and adventure tourists. I will never forget the experience I have when I and my friends entered the Siok falls. Falls is not a secluded place thus it is very accessible by a four0wheel vehicle. The receiving area also has a wide parking lot for vehicles. Since the entrance fee to the place is quite cheap, one need not empty his wallet for a waterfall adventure in the city of Koronadal. Read more.

I and my friends have an amazing experience when we entered the Siok Falls and Park. For how many hours we came from the downtown, there is eagerness inside was boosting up when we have our first step on the place. The entrance costs about ten pesos which is very convenient for our pocket. If you will go to this place I recommend you to wear slippers, you shouldn't wear any shoes or what so ever things that cover your feet because that would probably get wet as we what experienced but cannot stop whatever your decision and it's all up to you.  Read more.
