Mag-Aso Falls, Kabankalan City

September 21, 2011 was a blast. My friends and I went to kabankalan City, Negros Occidental Philippines which is situated within Balicaocao watershed. We had a really great time.

At 10 in the morning from South Terminal in Bacolod City, we rode on the Ceres bus going to Kabankalan City via Dumaguete-Mabinay route. The price was 120 for airconditioned bus and 90 for non-airconditioned.  The bus had a stopover at Kabankalan Bus terminal for 15 minues then we got off at Barangay Oringao old public market in Kabankalan. 

Then we rented a motorcycle for 100 pesos, 25 pesos per person, to take us up to the falls, Only 4 people could fit in one motorcycle. Estimated travel time was 15 minutes from the highway. the whole time. :)

When we arrived, we were welcomed with a sign of Mag-Aso Falls made with stone. At the top, one can take a swim in their spring water pool. Or can take a short walk going down the falls. It was breathtaking. 

It’s major attractions are it’s mini-falls and the 75 foot main falls that drop into a clear pool.  

We also went hiking to see other falls. Since there were no public vehicles available going up the resort, we literally walked! I can’t estimate how many kilometers we hiked but all I can say is-- it was a very long climb.

These are my friends. They were all drunk and wasted. Some of them did some crazy things. ahahaha.... Really funny! Too bad I was not allowed to take pictures of it. ahaha... because they asked me not too. :)

Here are some of our pics.

Finally, time to go home. ^_^ There was no means of transportation so we had to walk down the hill. I don't know exactly how many kilometers we had to walk but it was very long!
