A GAZEBO OF JOURNEYS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER. Life is a series of pictures. Some blurred, others vivid and sharp; some are panoramic while others are close-up views with tiny little flaws. You may be taken by a luxurious DSLR camera or a plain Point and Shoot Cam, but in the end, when all of the films are used up and all batteries empty, people all have one thing in common: what we leave are footprints in the sand, pictures in the album, and flashes of memories.

TINUY-AN FALLS (the Niagara Falls in the Philippines)

HOW TO GET THERE (From Hinatuan Terminal --> Tinuy-an Falls) travel time approx. 2 hours.
Ride a bus or jeep to Mangagoy (just ask the driver to drop you off to the Tinuy-an Falls Crossing (40-50php/person) then take a habal-habal to Tinuy-an falls (200php/head). Luckily for us, we didn't get to spend anything during our trip since a good friend of mine from Mangagoy offered to take us there by car.

Entrance fee: Php 50
Opening hours: they said it is open the whole day but most tourists would arrive in the morning just in time to see the rainbow that inexplicably visits the falls between 9 to 11 am.
Accommodation: Some cottages are for rent. And there are also rooms for overnight use (forgot to inquire how much though)

Nature lovers would enjoy the rough ride --- passing by trees, vast fields and some little towns filled with smiling people on the road. And as soon as we set foot on the area, we heard the sound of the water splashing to the rocks as it falls and feel the moist mountain breeze on our skin.

But the best part of it is seeing it in our own eyes...





my friend told me that in the months of October or November, or in the rainy months, the rocks get hidden by the larger volume of water falling and all you see is white misty water -- making it more like the Niagara Falls!

Travels that satisfy the heart 
and fill the brain with cherished memories. 
This is TRAVEL-licious.
