    Mayana Peak And Batogag Banog: An Intrepid Hiker’s Utopia

    Cebu, voted as one of the world’s best islands, is known, beloved and praised for a lot of things.

    Udlom Falls: The Mesmerizing And Towering Cascade Of Lamac, Cebu

    I thought I had everything figured out. With the sweet sound of gushing waters, I thought we were on the right path to catching one of Cebu’s highest and most underrated waterfalls – Udlom Falls. At last, I’m going to get an up close look of Udlom Falls, after a failed attempt. Ever since I first laid eyes on it on my visit to Hidden Valley, I’ve been itching and dreaming of seeing it up close. A surreal mixture of a cave and a waterfall, it is absolutely an awe-inspiring sight to behold. And, even though it was a little late, I did like our chances. I’ve always been confident…
