the picturesque Kawasan falls.
The hike itself is very easy and takes you up a beautiful river
valley to a spectacular waterfall nestled amongst lush rain forest.
Along the river trail you will have the chance to see a variety of
tropical birds, butterflies and other wildlife; (no large animals).
There are also coconut groves with huge old coconut trees.
Once at the waterfall you can either just relax, explore the
surrounding hills or take a swim, under and around the waterfall.
If you wish to have lunch, there is a reasonably priced restaurant
serving local cuisine near the waterfall.
Kawasan Falls are where a river falls steeply down the hills
above the town of Matutinao, just south of Badian (Pls. note that
Matutinao is part of Badian). It is actually a hierarchy of
waterfalls, of which the first is the biggest, however the scenery
gets wilder and more impressive the further up you go.
The area is very pretty and offers (cold!) fresh water bathing, a
Tarzan swing and the opportunity to climb up beside the
waterfall and imitate the high divers of Acapulco! The higher up
the river valley, the prettier it gets, with places where you must
swim up a gorge and clamber over rocks.
