Chasing Waterfalls : Tumalog Falls of Oslob

Hello! As a continuation of my chasing waterfalls series, I will now showcase this time the epic Tumalog waterfalls of Oslob Cebu.

Usually travelers here in Oslob will not miss to visit Tumalog falls after their whale shark watching.  Since Oslob Cebu is not that far where I am currently located, I have the special advantage of visiting it during my rest day.  I highly recommended this spot to everyone who would like to visit Oslob.  You will surely love it specially if you love nature and just hang there for a while and admire one of the wonderful creations of a cascading waterfall with rock formations.

Tumalog Falls will not disappoint every adventure seekers specially if you love to trek and hike the not more than 500 meters cemented road.  Just tell the bus driver that you have to alight at Tumalog in Oslob and right there hire a motorcycle to get you to the entrance.  When I was there, the motor cycle for hire charged me P100 pesos back and forth.  And, I was lucky during that time since there was no entrance fee.

Since the way down to the falls is so steepy although it is a cemented road, you need to have a strong legs to get your way down or hire a motor cycle to get down there.  I just choose to trek my way down at the falls to really experience the steepy road.  On my way down I asked someone who goes up if it is okay and he said the way down is okay but the way up is not and he said that I better hire a motorcyle.  I was very careful with my steps in the steepy downhill of the road.  And on my way up I still walk the uphill road.  I guarantee that an experience with Tumalog Falls is marvelous.  I really appreciate nature's wonders and I thank God for creating like this one in Tumalog Falls.

Dalaguete Triple Thrills : Osmeña Peak, Eagles Cave and Obong Spring

Image
Dalaguete is located 84 kilometers in the southern part of Cebu Philippines.  At first, I never thought that this southern town of Cebu offers a lot of tourist spots.  I just found out when we arrived there one Sunday morning.  At the entrance of their public market of their rotunda road, you can see a very large tarpaulin highlighting their natural tourist spots that includes the popular Osmeña Peak.  I thought that it is only the favorite Osmeña Peak this southern town can offer.  But their array of tourist places are quite numerous.  I scanned on the tarpaulin with more or less 10 natural spots destinations.  This includes Bandera Peak and Mercado's Peak that I have never heard of before. Osmeña Peak is popular since it is the highest point in Cebu.  It stands 1,013 metters above sea level and it is located at Mantalungon Dalaguete Cebu.  I can say that the town of Dalaguete is very organized since they maintained a log book when you will hire one of their motor cycles.  D
