Who would have thought that a simple barangay, Mabnang, in my hometown is a home of a wonderful falls? I was only high school when I last visited this place. After a couple of years, I was able to visit once again, this time with my brother, cousins, nephews, and nieces.
I've seen a lot of new improvements on the area. The last time I was here, it was all natural, virgin-like place wherein no other people except the locals appreciate its beauty. Maybe as the time goes by, development was underway and you can now see that the basin was already developed.
What else to do around 14:00 not to dip on the very cold water coming from the mountain?! Water here is freezing but due to the hot weather, we don't mind. We enjoyed swimming on the raging falls. It was fun! Summertime and we need to enjoy it.
The pool area was destroyed by a typhoon. Big rocks and strong current coming from the mountain tops maybe the reason why it was destroyed. Local folks from the barangay still managed to save the area to draw local and foreign tourists.
Now I will tease you how to get to this place. Just a few minutes from the provincial road, this is accessible by walking or any means of transportation. Will share you things that will make you even eager to hit the place for relaxation. Along the way, you can see these:
Can't get enough? Definitely! Barely in less than 30 minutes you will reach your destination. What is interesting is that, part of getting there can be done by transportation and still you need to step-off from the car and walk for about 5 minutes to get to the falls. Not a problem, it's just an easy hike, just look at the trail below:
Easy task right? Burned calories in getting to this place and you'll soon find that the place is great! Such a great hour for me and my colleagues to enjoy our summer vacation. I would rather suggest hit this place once you visit my hometown, Claveria, Cagayan.
