Just 130 kilometers southwest of Cebu City and about three hours bus ride, the Kawasan Falls is located inside the mountains of Barangay Matutinao, Badian. Silver cascades of waters drop down into gorgeous freshwater pools that beckon visitors to swim and explore the surroundings further. There are two main waterfalls and they are known for their turquoise blue water basins. If you can trek a bit to the second tier of the falls, you will find yourself away from the crowds of tourists and in true company of nature. You can even rent bamboo rafts that take you right under the waterfall.

• Be careful of scamsters trying to coerce visitors into hiring a guide.

• The best way to reach the falls is to hire a cab or hop on a bus from Cebu.

• Café Europa Restaurant
• Lantaw Restaurant
• Larville Pool Garden
