Capalayan Falls

For the first time, I visited the Capalayan Falls. Unlike Katibawasan Falls and Tinuy-an Falls, Capalayan Falls is not so popular. It is located in Surigao City.

Capalayan Falls is still in the process of improvement. From the city proper, you can ride a habal-habal, motorcycle or private vehicle in going to Barangay Capalayan. See and ask permission first from the Barangay Official. They will send a tour guide for you not to be lost in going to the waterfall. From the main road, you need to walk and follow the pathway/walkway going to the waterfall. To avoid rashes, make sure you wear leggings/long pants or anything comfortable outfit just to keep your legs away from scratching.

 See? How grassy the walkway is.

 Waving the camera.:-)

 Tired. Resting for a while

 Trekking...

 Jose exerted an effort to climb the waterfall.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Capalayan Falls.

There is no admission fee. Entering/visiting Capalayan Falls is free.

Tinuy-an Falls

Here is another amazing waterfall. It is Tinuy-an Falls. I described it, The Majestic Tinuy-an Falls. Tinuy-an Falls is located in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur..

The falls are 95 m wide and 55 metres (180 ft) high, touted as the Niagara Falls of the Philippines. Tinuy-an is a white water curtain that flows in three levels and is said to be the widest waterfall in the Philippines. Every morning, the area shows a rainbow between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Source)

I took the above photos with Samsung Galaxy Y. It is darky :-) sorry for that. Maybe because the weather was not fine at that time.

I was half-contented with this visit. We stayed for one hour only in this place. I didn't explore Tinuy-an Falls that much. They said, we must climb and see the upper area of the waterfall to experience and witness the alluring view of the waterfall.

'I shall return' sounds familiar? Maybe someday in God's will, I shall visit again Tinuy-an Falls.
