 Kawasan
Falls
The best place to unwind here
in Cebu. When you get to Matutina,
Badian which is located on the
southern part of Cebu island,
you will have to hike some 20-25minutes
before reaching the first falls.
You'll be mesmerized when you
get there and after the long walk
you would want to go for a dip
immediately.
Some 5-10 minutes treak going
up above the first falls, you'd
be able to reach the other 3 sub-falls
and also the source. One can feel
the coolness of the surrounding
lush greenery of this panoramic
waterfalls. Accomodation from
