Summer just started a day before the storm came. Family outing at Real, Quezon.
Our itinerary was supposed to be a balsa or a raft boat trip along the mangroves but ended up somewhere (because the boat was being used by someone else)
we ended up going here instead. Good choice.
Balagbag Falls
It's a 3-hour drive from Manila.
Take the Real-Mauban coastal road for another 20 minutes and you're there!
No major hike required. It's meters away from the road
For height reference.
The falls is quite big, and multi-layered. We were also fortunate that there are no other guests around. We had the whole place for ourselves! Think about having a resort closed for private use. Oh yeah, entrance fee is Php 20 per head. You can also rent their huts
There are two more layers above this, but one is enough
The oldies don't go very far
The day was also cloudy, which is to my advantage, it didn't rain. thank God it's Friday
We stayed at the falls for a while, my brothers and cousins diving from the second layer down the first. I also wanted to dive but alas, I don't know how to swim well.
We left by 5pm
We could see the rain coming towards us from Mauban side, but we were fearless.
And headed straight for it despite it being already late when we packed and
that most of us are riding at the back of the pick-up truck
Another falls is located straight this coastal road. Nunok falls if Im correct.
But we didn't go there
Headed back to our house at Real after
And what we filled our bellies with.
Adobong Pusit
and Inihaw na Isda
Then some Paco Salad. With Vinegar, Salted egg, tomatoes and onions
No more karaoke after this. All were tired from that adventure
End :)
