South Cebu has a lot
of waterfalls to be explored. I happen to experience some of them. I've always been fascinated with waterfalls. An awesome phenomenon where
nature has molded for a hundreds of
years, perhaps a thousand. When God
created the world, He must have spent a
lot of time perfecting waterfalls. I just wish people will take care of it so
that the next generation can live with
it.

Getting to Oslob
where the majestic Tumalog Falls is located
is quite easy. From Cebu South
Bus Terminal, you have to take a Ceres bus bound for Bato, Oslob. It will take
you about 3 to 4 hours travel time. From the highway drop point, Natalio Bacalso Avenue, you can ride a rented motorcycle (15php) or walk for about 10 to 15 minutes to the actual site. Entrance fee was 20php.

After our whale-shark experience (which happens to be as early as 6am), we head to Tumalog Falls to cool off. The waterfalls was incredibly beautiful. The water was extremely cool. The catch basin was shallow so you don't have to worry about drowning unlike Kawasan Falls.
Free back massage? Yes. |
The sound of the waterfall gives me a different kind of excitement. Its soft icy mists kisses your cheeks. Tumalog Falls is wide (and extremely high) with mini moss-covered umbrella-like bedrock where the cold fine strands of water cascades from the top. As high as about a hundred meters, the cascade waters that falls in a rain-like fashion is not strong enough to hurt you. It actually provides a relaxing massage to weary travelers. Its diaphanous dress of pale green creates a majestic view. The thick bamboo and surrounding forests acts like a guardian overseeing Tumalog Falls like a scene from a movie.
