Kawasan Falls is a multi-layered waterfall system located in Barangay Matutinao in the town of Badian, Cebu. It is without doubt the most visited tourist attraction here in Badian.
Famous for its beautiful turquoise water, Kawasan Falls sits at the foot of Mantalongon Mountain Range, approximately one kilometer from the national road of Badian and at least four hours of trekking from Osmeña Peak of Dalaguete. Its cold and clear water cascades through layers of waterfalls emanating from Kandayvic Spring before going to Matutinao River and the Tañon Strait.
The waterfall system consists of two main cascades both with deep natural pools ideal for swimming. The first cascade stands at approximately 40 meters while the less crowded second level has a height of approximately 20 meters and can be reached within ten minutes of trekking.
A Cold Swim at Kawasan Falls
The magical landscape of the falls is very cool and refreshing, an ideal paradise to anyone who loves and want to get intimate with nature. Enjoy the cold swim in the fresh, crystal clear spring water of these great water falls.
The waterfalls make up the Matutinao River System, which has been awarded many times as the cleanest inland body of water in the country. The water coming from the falls is clean and crystal clear.
The riverbank will lead you to the very heart of Kawasan Falls. Along the way you can view several wild tropical plants, birds and monkeys. The area is surrounded by lush, green rain forest and its magical landscape is a true paradise.
At the highest accessible point, the source can be found. It is called Kabukalan “The Source”, the fresh water rushes from a small cave and pours over the stones. Climbing up to Kabukalan needs a bit extra energy because it’s quite far from the second level.
