Lake Sebu, South Cotabato (Part 3): Dream Trip

Place: Lake Sebu, South Cotabato
Date: February 23-27,2015
Unraveling the rich culture of T’boli and conquering an exhilarating adventure in and around Lake Sebu. (Part 3)

The best and easiest way to see the 5 waterfalls is through the 740 meter zipline ride.

Another thing that you must see is the Seven Waterfalls located in Baranggay Siloton, it housed the unbeatable ride on the longest and highest zipline.  This means crossing across and above the magnificent 7 falls zipped in a highly secured line, be ready to rock your lungs out for less than a minute.



Caveat: No one, among the 5 members of the team, had the courage to be hanged in a secured cocoon, so sadly, we missed the fun, and did the mock up instead. 

Chill and unwind under the verdant forest in the highlands of South Cotabato.

Upon paying an entrance fee of 20.00 for the maintenance and further development of the area, a short leisurely walk will take you to the first Hikong (Falls) Alo.

If you are short of courage to do the zipline challenge, like us? Do your self a favor by going down to this tallest among the seven falls, “ Hikong Bente,” just make sure that you have a ride to take you back up to the entrance, otherwise walk the 774 steps path up to the main road.

4. Hikong Lowig "Booth,"

6. Hikong K'Fo-I "Short"
7. Hikong Tonok "Soil"

The locals collect seashells at the foot of the waterfalls, which they sell to the market for 20.00 per kilo.  Not much for a long hours of bending and under a knee deep and cold water.
