(April 29, 2017 a Saturday)
(Continued from the previous post Shopdisan Falls)

From the "Shopdisan Falls" (10:36 am), on our way back, we once again hopped from one rock to another and ten minutes later, we were at the junction of the two rivers.
We kept walking and replenished our water bottles with spring waters along the way.
We finally arrived at Budahaw Falls.
Since it was summer, although lessened, its falling waters were still good with regards to volume.
The waterfalls consisted of three tiers or cascades wherein the one at the middle was its main cascade thus, it also has the widest and deepest basin or pool area.
My guide told me that the waterfalls are gradually being picked-up by hikers and nature-lovers that once in a while tourists visit the said waterfalls.


We lingered there for a while and after which we went back to that uphill trail (11:47 am).
It was good that the sky was cloudy that day. The heat was greatly lessened and still it was "pahirapan" going up but still manageable knowing that it was a great form of exercise.
With constant rest and a long rest at one of the houses along the way, what a great site, I can see the parked tricycle above.
We made it to the tricycle (12:40 pm) and sigh!
A ride going down and made it to the Market area (12:59 pm).
We went to eat at a "carinderia" and after which I took a bus bound for Home Sweet Home.
