It began very early in the morning. I was excited as I drove from Cebu City towards Ginatilan. We went on a scenic drive through really fun winding roads, with lush green greenery and beautiful views looking out to the mountains. Once in Ginatilan, I was treated by friendly locals who love this place very much.
I took a short tricycle ride from the town center and finally arrived at the entrance of Inambakan Falls. I heard rushing water and I was excited. The trek for me was short, through a well kept path, to get to the falls. The sweet scent of nature was everywhere and chirping of birds took me along for a trip. I walked up to the falls and behold there it stood.
It was invigorating feeling! It was deep enough to swim and I ended up floating in the pool enjoying the serenity of the whole place. I stared up at the falls and smiled as I let emotions run free, I couldn’t help but feel completely at bliss. I also used the opportunity to visit the neighbourhood to see the falls. There were lush vegetation and rocks all around this stunning place, perfect for climbing a rock or two and to click photos. I also ran into many fellow travelers who were equally amazed by the awesomness or Inambakan falls and we exchanged stories and had a good laugh as we were all busy clicking pictures of the waterfalls got very close to us.
For those wanting some extra adventure, there is Inambakan Falls which offers cliff diving and trekking. So I then decided to have a little go at the cliff diving off the ledge that happened to be slightly lower than the others. I stood on the edge and the adrenaline began to pump through my veins as I stood there but then I remembered how beautiful the crystal clear water was and how wonderful it was to jump in. It was exciting and I wanted to do it over and over.
I sat on a rock and just enjoyed the magnificence of things as the day passed. It was a heavenly sound of the water flowing, the rustling of leaves and there was also a loud sound of laughter from the other visitors there. This was a moment of reflecting back on how beautiful the world is and how it makes us so happy.
