SuriVao Escape- Aliwagwag Falls

My mothers' hometown is a little charming place called Cateel (in Davao Oriental). Although we always travel there during Christmas and summer vacation, I've never really explored the exotic and amazing Aliwagwag Falls. So for our SuriVao Escape, this falls is definitely part of our itinerary!

According to my mother, back then it was difficult to visit the falls which is in Barangay Aliwagwag due to unpaved roads and you have to ride a habal habal to get there. Today, it is much easier to visit the area since the construction of Cateel-Compostela Road.



As soon as we reached the place, we can't help but utter words of praise for this majestic falls. We all rushed towards it and go gaga over taking pictures here and there! Seriously, the place is truly breathtaking that not taking pictures will be a major crime!

Aliwagwag Falls is actually composed of mutiple tiers and runs down to a river. If I can describe the falls, it's like a stairway to heaven. You can't help but want to climb the top tier :) 

Be careful! The rocks there are slippery.

He's obviously loving the water :)

As of writing, they are already developing the area (building cottages and cemented stairs) perhaps to attract more tourist. I just hope that they don't alter much the area since its already beautiful as it is. 
And hopefully, they will be able to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of Aliwagwag Falls so that future generations will still be able to marvel at this majestic body of water.

Another epic jumpshot from Fred! Hehe..



One last groupshot before we left the area :)
