Waterfalls

IJsselstein, Sunday, 31 March 2002 16:59:41

The Bohol landscape is dotted with a large number of romantic, refreshing waterfalls. Most of them are hidden away, only known to the local people. They will patiently wait for you to discover them. Here we list just of few of them, but if you ask around, the locals can point you out many more, where you can stay, and often swim in a natural swimming pool undisturbed all day. Some of the undeveloped waterfalls can only be reached after difficult climb down a muddy slope, which may be impossible after heavy rains.

Map of Waterfalls in Bohol

Mag-Aso Falls

The Mag-Aso Falls are at walking distance from Antequera, and are fine destination after a visit to the handicrafts market on Sunday morning. On the market square, a large sign directs you to the right road, which you follow until you find a bit dilipated ticket stall, where you will have to pay two pesos, and can enter the concrete stairs down to the falls.

Inambacan Falls

Also located near Antequera town, a cascading waterfall, proposed to be a source of drinking and irrigation water for Antequera and even Tagbilaran City.

Kawasan Falls

The Kawasan Falls can be found in Balilihan, about 22 kilometers from Tagbilaran.

Dimiao Twin Falls

The Dimiao Twin Falls are about 14 kilometers from the highway, in the muncipality of Dimiao, 38 kilometers from Tagbilaran. The beautiful cascading twin falls are a trekking destination and a picnic.

Busay Falls

Busay Falls are the destination of the floating restaurant trips starting from Loboc. The falls are 12 meters wide and fall about 4 meters, but after the wonderful trip and certainly advisable on Loboc river fall a bit behind expectation.

I am from Cebu and I plan to visit Bohol probably last week of December 2009. Would the weather be ideal for touring Bohol? Please let me know coz I wouldn't like the bad weather to ruin our trip, therefore we could just re-schedule it on summer. I will be with my sister and cousins and we are excited to see the tarsier, go swimming in one of the waterfalls there, go dolphin-watching and explore one of the caves there. We will be staying there for 3 days the most. I would appreciate your sensible response. Thanks!
