Travel buddies just had their third swing and were definitely enjoying the activity in Cambugahay Falls while I was still building my courage to grab the vine and take my turn. Convincing me to jump in the fall’s lagoon took a bit of time that a local even volunteered as my spotter in the water….
For a person who has the travel bug, a hectic week in Cebu City means a great outdoor activity on a weekend. Around midnight, I went directly to my abode, not to shrug-off the stressful week I had, but to get some of my travel essentials for a day of chasing waterfalls in south western…
The first local who approached me stated a Php500 rate for the visit to Dao Falls, Binalayan Falls, and Aguinid Falls. I sarcastically declined his offer because I thought it was too much. The Police Station is just a stone-throw away and I had the idea of asking help from them to search for a…
