The place is neat with cottages for rent and  there’s a wide open space  ideal for camping.
As the tour progressed, tired feeling are setting in to some participants due to trek and bus travel from Davao. The place at Tagbibinta camping area was a great scenery and the falls was just at the back of those cottages and we can even hear the raging water from above.

One by one we proceeded to the falls and photography session started.  Others dipped into the cold waters of the falls while some climbed up higher and took a bath there. The falls was  surrounded by lush vegetation. Flowing waters gathered in a turquoise colored lagoon were I dipped into. Chilling and cold, it was a great relaxing treat to participants who took the dip.
It was 2:00 in the afternoon when we proceeded to our last destination – Kanlawig hot spring.
