Tucked away in the mountainous area between Ronda and Dumanjug is a little-known enchanting attraction called Cambanog Falls. The road to this mysterious place is challenging but worth the travel.
The journey there will be quite a road trip as it transverses some rocky roads. But that is not the hard part yet. When you get there, you’ll have to walk through some muddy paths (some involving sliding down a long route) to reach the tail end of the falls. It then involves transversing slippery rocks and muddy waters to get to the main attraction.
We recommend Cambanog Falls for those seeking to explore under-explored falls in the area. The attraction is not yet developed, and we suggest not going there in the rainy season as it can get very muddy.
Cambanog Falls in Alegria, Cebu, is a captivating natural attraction that offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. Plan your visit to Cambanog Falls and immerse yourself in this enchanting destination’s stunning scenery and serene ambiance.
