For many years has past, this river holds lots of stories and before this place turned into a wide river it was once a small stream or creek located here. Lots of trees, bamboos and a small portion of water flows here, but as many years has past the creek/stream has finally turned into a river washed away those trees and bamboos.
As its big changes happens, lots of big trees are already washed out leaving this small pieces of cutted bamboos and big tree trunks buried at the sand and submerged at the fresh water. This big tree trunk has been here submerged for many years already. Lots of big floods tried to washed away this series bamboos and big trees. Despite of that, fresh water animals like shrimps, fish and crabs hide here. This will also gives a great views of the river. This tree trunks and bamboos grows here and still does not washed away instead it burried here for a long time. Totally imagined that this trees here are already in hundred years old and it is totally amazed.
On each side of the cliff are the great overviews of the river. Almost 7 meters high of the cliffs and compost with sands. People who will visited here loves to take pictures of this overlooking views of the river. Each side of the cliff contains lots of roots of bamboos, big trees and even wild grass. Each side of the cliff where lots of wild grass grows. Channels of water flows everywhere creating lots of water channels at the middle of the river. Aside of that a big simi-island made of sand at the middle of the river. When hot season came, this river is the perfect place for splashing and swimming activities. Lots of deeps water parts can be seen and found here and it cannot directly hit by sunlight because of the shades brought by big trees.
Big and old trees also grows near at the river and it still grows and standing until today. Expected to have lots of wild animals lives here just like birds. Photographers and bloggers loves to take macrophotos because of wild animals here. Lots of vines and big balete trees grows here for many years already. It gives a cool and refreshing place perfect for those who loves to visits the river.
Tons of fine sands deposited here because of the past flash floods and now it continously collapsing. This thick fine sands at the cliff are continuing to collapsed everytime when there is a flood and deposited to the other side of the place. Lot of big roots comes from big trees and some vines also on it. This is very soft particles here at the river but still there is also a trail where people always passing by here as served as a shortcut.
Agricultural plants just like bananas are also grows very near at the cliffs. Some of it are already washed away by floods and only few banana plants are already left. Manticao river contains lots of wonderful views and relaxing place that everyone will really like. Until next post, have a nice and safe travel to everyone.
