      Hi, Mae-Ann. Thanks for reading.
      If you're from Davao, it would cost around P100. From Malaybalay, it's around P200. And the enjoyment is priceless.

      Hi, Mae-Ann! Yes, pwedeng mag-overnight dun. Some pitch their tents. Some rent the old cottages near the falls. Just bring your own sleeping gears.

    Is it ok to bring toddlers along? Kayanin kaya nila ang trekking? From the Highway going to the Falls and back? How far po ba from the highway to the falls?

      hi, 2Bs. thanks for dropping by.
      it's okay to bring toddlers. just guide them well. rocky/stony ang trail. careful lang pagbaba ng hagdan sa harap nga falls. the distance from the highway is estimated to be around 500 meters.
