Discovering Badian! an icy cool experience...

Located 130 km southwest of Cebu City, you;ll find Badian a 3rd class municipality in the province of Cebu. 2010 census, shows a population of 37,699 people. The Municipality of Badian is not known for its rocky beach fronts but instead abound the beautiful majestic waterfall called "KAWASAN FALLS."

Kawasan falls of Badian is among the many natural spring waterfalls that sprouts from the area. Visitors describe it as a gentle hush of rushing ice cool water. 

Badian is about three hours bus ride from Cebu City. The Kawasan Falls is located inside the mountains of Barangay Mtutinao, Badian.

From the entrance you will have to walk uphill for about 1.5 km to get to the first water. Along the way, souvenir shop are selling accessories such as beaded necklaces, bracelets, and Kawasan print-shirts. 

There are also locals that offers being guides or porters to carry your heavy luggage. What is commendable is that they are very friendly. Local stores near the entrance and church are also helpful with regards to looking-after your vehicle for the night, although most these services are not for free. 

There are three cascading waterfalls in Kawasan. The first one the biggest and has most resorts. The second falls is more memorable as it is not that difficult to swim around and not that deep (dangerous). The third one abound the spring source. Going to the source of the spring, you'll pass by the small dam as the catch basin for waters from the source.

I would definitely recommends the second falls as the resorts are much lesser. There are also few people that stays from this part of the waterfalls. 

Below are pictures from the 1st fall to the spring source. An icy cool experience indeed in Badian.
