Aliwagwag Falls (October 2016)
How to get here?
From Davao International Airport, take a cab going to Davao Ecoland Terminal. You can either take a bus or look for a van heading to Cateel. In my case, I opted to take a van and it only took me 3 hours on the road for P350.00.
Aliwagwag Falls, Cateel
Upon drop off, you must first proceed at the information and pay the P50.00-registration fee. Aliwagwag Falls ecopark is open from 7:00-5:00 pm daily.
I took the photo below from the bridge along the highway before anything else. Say hello to the Philippine's longest waterfalls and the so-called, "Stairway to Heaven."
Curtain Falls, Campawan
From Aliwagwag Falls, hire a tricycle, yes, tricycle, not habal-habal going to Curtain Falls because the road going there is a bit tough plus the thing that I have my tall pack with me, it is more convenient. This will take you up to a 2-hour-butt numbing ride for P300.00 (round trip). Parking fee is P20.00.
From the parking area, you have to do a 5-minute-trek going down the waterfalls. There is no entrance fee here, so treat yourself a dip into its calm waters and experience a natural hydromassage at its finest.
A not-so-crowded Curtain Falls.
If you still have time, you can drop by at Sunrise Boulevard along the highway for a few shots, it;s also free anyway.
