Katibawasan Falls is one of Camiguin Island's gems. It measures 250 feet which cascades to a natural rock pool with green and ice cold water surrounded by local species of trees, orchids, and wild ferns.
I had the chance to visit Camiguin's interesting spots including Katibawasan Falls during my 3 days stay there. The island province is Philippines’ second smallest in terms of land area and population but “Big and Giant” in terms of tourism. Interestingly, you can explore the whole province in just one day!
From downtown Mambajao, hire a habal-habal/multicab. Tell the driver that you’re going to Katibawasan Falls. The waterfall is located five kilometers southeast of Mambajao- 5-10 minutes travel.
The area is maintained by the provincial government so expect minimal fees. You only have to pay an entrance fee of P20 (adult) | P5 (children) | P10 (student) to be able to see and experience Katibawasan Falls. Picnic tables, seats, and picnic facilities are available for use. The surrounding nature, its ice cold water and refreshing splash are enough reasons to tag this spot as one of the country perfect summer destinations.
Must Try
Visit to Katibawasan Falls will never be complete without trying “kiping”. It is a local delicacy made from ground kamote (sweet potato), sun-dried then fried and served with latik or sweet sauce made from coconut. It is available at the food stalls near the entrance going to the waterfall.
