The best way to do a day trip to Kawasan Falls in Cebu

Kawasan falls is located about 3 hours away from the center of Cebu City in Badian. Recently, a rise of canyoneering adventures have drawn a number of tourists both domestic and international so I thought I may share how I took on Kawasan.

The best time to leave the city would be at 4am to avoid any traffic from southern districts such as Minglanillia. Driving to the chapel where cars are parked before the kilometer walk to the falls was a smooth one. The landscapes and seascapes of the south is filled with coconut trees, mangroves and lush greenery. Lowering the car windows is ideal for a breath of fresh air. 

Once you arrive, you can proceed and pay the environmental fee of about PHP 20.00 for locals and proceed with the walk that would lead you to the first waterfall where everyone is at. It's also where the iconic waterfall could be found. You can dine here, swim and rent the bamboo raft for PHP 300.00 

mid-level pool 

After a few minutes on the first level, a few steps would lead you to the second waterfall. In between, you could find a semi-hidden pool with rays of light illuminating the blue waters but some people just pass by it. I only noticed it well when I saw an Instagram post from "doyoutravel". I would suggest to stop by the mid level to enjoy the isolated pool by yourself and your friends.

By 12:00 noon, my friends and I decided to head to Moalboal to have lunch by the beach. By this time, we were waterfalled-out. 3-4 hours is definitely enough time to spend in the area. 


By 7:00PM, we were back in the city.

LET THERE BE EUROPE.                                                                                                                                                                            If you might be thinking where I was for the past few days, I can’t summarize it into one post.  It’s quite often that my friends and I grab dinner followed by overflowing drinks that keeps us until sunrise. Last saturday was something new. The most popular road trip destination if you live in the south would always be Tagaytay, and that’s exactly where we went. I’ve had a post about Tagaytay before but this one’s entirely different. We went up to a place called Crosswinds. The whole property looked like it was shipped right from Europe. We went on a hike up here and another place that overlooked the Taal Lake, but because it was raining,the fog had covered up the whole view. When I revived my blog last July, I admit that I was pressured to post outfit shots, but I figured out that

I'M Hotel Makati (Is it the newest 5 star hotel?)

Image
Who is the new kid in town? I'M. (yes, that's the name of the hotel) After spending most of my days working in a hotel, I've adapted a feature that subconsciously notices details of service and even the architectural and engineering aspects. I am proud to be a Filipino hotelier and from now on, I will be exploring more of the country and hopefully SEA nations as I will take you along with me. I'M hotel bags the title as the newest 5-star hotel in the district. But is it really a 5 star hotel? The tall building soaring through the skyline of the CBD's outskirts located in Poblacion sparks curiosity mostly because of it's name. Similar to most, I asked why "I'M hotel" and up to now I still don't have an answer. After passing through the property along Makati avenue countless times, it was like a timelapse of the building's construction until a day came where they've put up a sign written onsen spa.

How to disconnect from the world without the need to travel far

It was 3am when we left Makati. After I came back to Manila from my hometown in Cebu last week, my friends and I headed up north to Zambales, which is about a 4 hour drive from Makati City. The scenery we aimed for was beyond the popular Philippine shores circulating heavily around the internet and we hit jackpot with the coves of Zambales.  Most international travel bloggers arrive the Philippines and cover three main spots "Palawan, Boracay and Cebu" . I absolutely love their content and everyday, I get inspired to create my own. My goal is to show people other spots that are barely developed highlighting the wonders of the country despite the common international impression.  Be prepared by the scenery that Zambales has to offer. The flora resembles nordic fjords splashed with savanna imagery on the inner side. The beaches of the coves sparkle bright during sunlight channeling the shores of Boracay and fades to earthly colours during dusk and sunrise.
