The Amazing Cambais Falls in Alegria Cebu aka the secret falls
Cambais Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall situated in the scabrous mountain of Brgy. Guadalupe, Alegria Cebu. It is considered as one of the hidden treasures in Alegria since few tourists know about this place.
Upon reaching the first level, you are rewarded with a deep hue of blue to emerald green and a wide catch basin perfect for swimming.
We stopped at Alegria Dive Resort for a lunch break. Just a few minutes of recharging, we headed straight to our waterfall hopping with Jhan from Alegria Dive Resort who organise this tour, we were on route for Cambais Falls. At 3 pm in the afternoon, we were already short in time for this tour but we still jumped into the inviting waters of Cambais Falls regardless.
It took fifteen minutes of trekking until we got the glimpse of the waterfalls. Surrounded by lush trees, it was heaven to look at the turquoise blue waters in the middle of all the greeneries.
Just look at these photos its like something out of a movie
There are various drops in the area, but these three are the most visible. The local kids here treat this place as their playground. Jumping up and down from the canyons of the waterfalls, they care-freely enjoy their little paradise amidst the busy tourism of their humble town.
Time for another swim in the crystal clear waters
We really enjoyed our time here. Although I wasn’t a skilled swimmer, I still went for it. The cold water was the right cure to my exhaustion. It was a good thing that there were thick bamboo sticks that served as floaters while we were in the pool.
Taking it to another level, I was inspired by the kids who just jumped and jumped like the height of the falls didn’t scare them. They were so brave! Along the way up, I met some of the tourists who also wanted to test their courage. This guy (I forgot his name) became my support buddy. We were both hesitant but I told him if he jumps, I jump. In the end, I went ahead of him, and he followed next. It was merely 6-8 feet high, but no matter how short the height may seem, being on the jumping point makes it feel like it’s 100 feet high.
We didn’t notice that time went by so fast, we were already an hour past our schedule. Well, no regrets because it was really an enjoyable stay here at Cambais Falls.
Like to thank Alegria Dive Resort in Sta. Filomena Alegrisfor arranging this tour, Jhan was a fantastic guide
