This is the most famous falls in the place. You can reach here with a tour guide since this activity requires supervision of their local guides for which at the same time provide income to the local conmunity. From the highway, it takes for about 10 minutes walk to reach its level 1. And with its slippery rock, everyone is advised to wear reef shoes for  safety.  This 5-level waterfalls is rich in Minerals and Calcium that convert roots into solid rock formations. Hence, its cool and tantalizing crystals of water that pours into your body will let you experience river trekking, natural massage and will make you learn to appreciate the beauty of how nature calls people.

Binalayan Falls

Also known as Hidden Falls and supervised by the locals as well it takes 10-12 minutes walk to reach the natural pool with the 2 level falls. From its name "hidden", this falls is concealed in the quite and serene forested area but this hidden falls of Samboan is not that "hidden" anymore since the tranquil sound of natural flowing water invites everyone to go and experience its coldness.

P.S. There are a lot of waterfalls to chase in the province of Samboan. However, it takes time for trekking and traveling from one waterfalls to another which makes it more exciting. Unfortunately, the bus that we took encountered flat tire problem that results to our shorter itinerary since chasing waterfalls  is from morning up until 5 in the afternoon. But, you can email and comment down below if you want me to answer your queries. 😉

P.S.S I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to this chasing waterfalls team for so much bond and adventure. Also, for the quality of pictures we have with the help of their HD cameras. Thank you, guys and hopefully readers will enjoy this blog.
