hiking along side the running waters of Kawasan is a great walk-in-the-park experience less the sun. i find the area clean and the trail to the falls easy to navigate. no wonder this is a great after-trek spot preferred by those who trekked Osmena Peak.
the waterfall system of Kawasan is composed of several levels of big basins but there are two larger basins that can accommodate more people including cottages on the side. a bamboo floater brings the people under the falls without the need to swim.
the largest of the two basins is accessible without much uphill walk but will definitely be more occupied on peak season. we chose the one at the higher level which required a short uphill trek.

dong how long was the trek to get to the waterfalls?
i think you don't follow pacman if you chose to hike instead of watch his fight.
great photos. especially the last picture.
no need po ng guide going there? thought to add this waterfalls in our IT for cebu this mid year.. :P
Hala i miss this place weeeee
I am glad that the experience had a good end!
The place is wonderful. I am amazed how well preserved is the trail there. Your photos show us the beauty of the place.
>photocache, hiking took about 20minutes or even less. won't notice the time because of the nice view. hahaha... was just not so excited on that fight.
>gillboard, thanks!
>ardee, yes. it's not necessary specially when you're going there on a weekend as you just need to follow the flow of people. trail is quite good and at some point you'll meet with some locals who can guide you along the way.
>sendo, nice.
>traveling hawk, they did a good job in maintaining the area clean. good that we went home safely after that experience.
>sendo,
Ohno, nakakakilabot.
Ang ganda ng waterfalls. Parang water ng pool yung tubig.
Ingat sa mga byahe, Idol.
Wow! Cute pictures!
My only problem will be how do i take pictures and then swim if i'm going alone? Oh well..... Probably will have to sacrifice great pics again so i could enjoy the falls better :D
good that your friend was saved from being drowned.
and yes, i think you made the right choice of going to this trek and passing up marquez-pacman fight. the latter's so predictable while the former's your passion. saan ka pa?! :D
OMG, that was a close call! Thank God nothing tragic happened. I've been to this falls and I can say it's one of the most beautiful ones I've seen in the country. My only complaint is the resto right beside it. It kinda ruins the view. Would've been nice if it were constructed far from the falls.
eto pala yung tragic moment. o basta pag nalulunod ka at magkasama tayo, shout for help in english para maintindihan kita. lam mo naman, less privilege ako sa mga dialects. hehe
punta ka sa BHS sa linggo?
Thank Godness you are safe. Maybe they should have a lifebuoy there on standby
Scaryyyyy yung nangyari kay Lakbay! O___O Dad, sure ka ba na walk in the park lang ang trail? Weeeee excited na ako coz aakyatin ko ang Osmena Peak! :))
ang ganda! Must come back for this. :)
omg. buti nlng your friend is safe.
kelan ba next fight ni pacaman? ma-ischedule na nga ang punta dyan! :P in fairness, ang ganda at ang linis ha!
>rizalenio, yes mukha nga talagang swimming pool ang tubig sa kawasan.
>lauren, you can have someone take a shot of you... not when you're swimming though. enjoy your trek to osmena peak.
>docgelo, hahaha... you're right. after the swim we heard about the fight. buti talaga na walang nangyari.
>aj, same here. the structures in the area somehow distracts the beautiful ambiance. god that they did not occupy the greater portion.
>chyng, i will do it in all language. hahaha... dito nga muntik malunod si lakbay at kung napagod ako ng tuluyan malamang ako din.
>borneo, you're right.
>renz, to the first falls yes as i remember it's the second large basin that requires uphill trek.
>tine, you should. lapit lang to sa opeak.
>reena, hahaha... at one point youll feel like you have the entire basin for yourself on those dates. tagala pa ata susunod na fight.
great photos Dong. ang tibaw ng kuha.
Nice photos on your trekking. Hope you and your family are safe from the earthquake.
we've been there, dong! and i considered it one of my best trips. anyway, buti to the rescue yung friend mo. doble ingat na lang sa mga susunod na trips nyo.
btw, may utang ka pang peruvian hat sa'kin. hihi.

This and the pacquiao fight go well...so when if every pacman fails this time, go dive right away...heheh! kidding aside, great trails. I do a bit of trailing too whenever the weather permits.
NICE shots!

oh my! lahat ng skills sa swimming mawawala lalo na pag cramps na ang kalaban... buti na lang ok lahat... malakas ba talaga hatak sa ilalim?
ganda nung last shot! too bad d ko to narating last time i was in south cebu but will be back this march to hopefully cover more spots there. yeah, i rmmbr yung nangyari ke edwin, good thing naagapan mu agad xa, at naniwala ka s knya (na di pala joke yun)kase ang hilig mag joke nun eh!
What a walk! That water is gorgeous.
awee i really miss this place! the last time i was here was 5 years ago. hindi kayo nagpunta sa third falls? ang ganda ng view din doon at ang lamig ng tubig ;D pwede rin makapagswimming sa third falls without using a bamboo raft kasi mababaw lang ang depth compared sa dalawang falls.
ganda tlga.. though ang naiisip ko kpag nakikita ko ang kawasan falls ay yung kaganapan sa buhay ni Lakbay. haha.
gusto ko ring dumaan dun sa concrete arc na yun. i love waterfalls. u
Nakakarelaks tignan ung waterfalls. definitely a great escape from the metro.
what a nice place tsk tsk nandyan pa naman ako sa cebu during the sinulog festival and the urcc event
wow ang ganda ng falls...at meron pa un favorite ko trekking...hehehe..pero buti nalang yung tragic moment ended good...im remember what happen to me wayback colledge years in daranak falls i also got drowned because of helping others and almost been out for few minutes..Thanks God un mga lifeguard nun narevive ako...
scary naman. Buti na-save siya. May sa muro ami ata tong si Ed. hihihi! Kaya ako hindi pwedeng walang life vest. nga pala, may mga ganun ba sa falls?
anyway, ganda nung last shot mo. Galing talaga ng mga falls falls effect ng mga SLR. bongga!
Super nice place..I want to experience that..
great pics...:D
Napakaganda naman nang falls na ito..Very refreshing and relaxing..
haaaayyyy... eto talaga yun! ang ganda parin ng falls, nevertheless.
