Can-umantad Falls in Candijay, Bohol



There is a great deal when you visit falls anywhere in the Philippines these days, unlike before when getting there is just a normal hike with friends skipping hours of class to enjoy whatever nature has to offer. Today social media makes everything intriguing, from travels to food, parks, and malls. 
Despite this generation's social media flare, I still think that rural areas are not overly infested of- the social-media fever - at least for now. That is probably why this fall is slightly known from outsiders. But recently a travel show featured it, and when they do, the place gets widely recognized and will later receive tourists popping out of nowhere. But before that happens, I visited the place, which is an unplanned visit by the way through hitching with my sister's friends. 
Located in Brgy. Can-umantad, Candijay, the falls is a 30-minute drive (by motorcycle or habal-habal) from the highway in Lungsod-daan. 

The road leading to the place is rough and uphill so a skilled motorcycle driver is needed. Anyway, habal-habal is easily available in Lunsod-daan so there is nothing to worry about transport. But it is more convenient though if you have your own ride going there so you won't have to pay Php160 for a habal-habal ride back and forth.

The signage you see when you are close.


Ain't that a beautiful view?

The water is greenish, clean, and cold. The entrance fee only costs 20 for adults and 10 for children - very cheap. You can actually drink the water in the bukal not far-off if you're perched. 
However, it is important to note that the activities within the falls are until 5:00pm only.


When you pass by this bridge turn right to go to the main falls.


And there it is...

Stay under the raging water falling and you'll get the best hydro massage there is - instead of paying for it, this one is totally free.

Somebody must have put those stones there for photo op! hahaha

There are plenty of places in Bohol that are yet to get tourist influx, so if you are ticking all those falls found in the Philippines - try to include this one. Many people have not been there yet.
