Lapaan Falls

Lapaan Falls
Brgy. Perez, KidapawanCity

This is one of my best water falling adventure. I enjoyed the hike. I feel blessed. And it was even tough.

I hired a single motorcycle and the ride was 30 minutes from Kidapawan City Mega Market.
Arriving Brgy. Perez, we passed by the Barangay Hall for registration . No environmental fee was charged. I had a minute chat with Kgwd. Bejamin Peninoy, Daisy Tamon,(brgy Midwife),Elena Perez (Brgy Health Worker) and Cherrie Abellano (Brgy Secretary). I was informed that they have no passed eco-tourism ordinance in their area, and they were assured of development plan to promote Lapaan Falls as tourist destination of the late tourism officer.

I just hope that Lapaan falls will be preserved as a  destination for nature lovers not for tourists and fun loving people who do not understand "our creed".

Friends, i really enjoy the 45 minutes moderate hike. Once again I am in the shelter of the forests. Birds hum, with  butterfly around, I missed some photo opportunities.

I was blessed with a sunny day drying up the slippery red road from Lapaan Sudsuhayon intersection. Upon reaching the Metro Kidapawan Water District Gate, we followed the right pathway leading to the wide trail about 300 meters. Here you will be walking along forest humus while feeling the cool air till you reach the descending narrow trail.

Careful with my healed knee injury, every step is a God's given favor. Just hearing the water falls rejuvenate every nerve linings connected to my heart. And what a relief, seeing the water plunge my eyes.

Acsending back, was about 30 

steps of 80 degrees slope  to reach the hill top. Tough but fulfilling.Ascending back, was about 30 steps of 80 degrees slope  to reach the hill top. Tough but fulfilling.
