    3 places at one time

    the location of the falls chriss is in the middle of 3 the towns(mabinay, bais & bayawan) with the river that flows to it as the border, you could be 3 "places" at one time, and not far away crossing the border to bais another falls, hidden by cliffs

    you should see the the place

    newt, i know those mounds near canlaon, its no match to hills found in the border of mabinay,bais and pamplona, very few people know about it, im even confident that some adventurer groups in dgte dont know or heard the place.

    so much more to discover newt, so much, how i wish a poor boy(me)before when i use to be on the mountain i had a camera.

    even if you start at casaroro, follow the river down, and you'll find 1 more higher drop falls compared to casaroro, and 3 more shorter.

    5 lakes at the back of mount talinis, including lake yagumyum and lake nailig

    When did they start group diving tours of Casaroro falls?

    How the hell did you get the tanks up and down all those steps?

    Good info india, thnks. It would be nice to see that then before anything comes and spoils the natural scenery ,as sometimes development can go out of hand .

    Out of curiousity also ,we once thought of walking down from casaroro falls but we learned from filipino -german couple we bumped into
    that by experience they were stock in the middle , find it hard to climb down,as there is a big falls on the way.This must be the one of them as you mentioned. So we thought, oh well to start from nowhere ,found a small river near valencia ,mind you the tejeros and forest camp weren't there yet,so everything out there were rambling wild shrubs,vines ,weeds.We followed the small river up,and thought that must be connecting casaroro, with the view to see the next big falls down .It went on and on until it was getting ripe in the afternoon.
    We ended up in a small waterfalls ,and we never knew that ,rocks so wrapped up slimy ,slippery,can't go any further ,after all the effort .So that was the impedement . But thinking going back the same trail would take us hours in total darkness and that's no joke if you're stock below casaroro and still bit wild out there that time .We hadn't even thought of planning that hike ,it was imprumpto , indeed very silly ,no torch (or flashlight), no matches at least we could improvise some light (bush fires :wink: ).Both sides were very stiff ravines and seem so covered with dense vegetations that looks so dodgy to climb up.But perhaps climbing up the steep ravine would be best solution, once on top might find one or two people or houses that will lead us to 'civilization' .We found this bit of clearing on the other side of the ravine and climb up on it, avoid looking down .Kind of adventure but it was no joke at that time,was hell scary pushing to the top,clinging on some vines / branches wild shrubs ,there were loads of spiders and crawlies and lurking mosquitos seems billions out there fiesting on us.By the look of it some folks did make use that very steep trail climbing down,t'was heaven though when we reached the top. We followed the faint clearing ,then find a small nipa hut, then few houses and locals and asked for directions to the road,it was long way ,but was lucky indeed,followed the road in darkness ,til we hit Valencia. But true i would like to see that next big falls down from the main Casaroro,or either to go further up there following the source of casaroro, someday ,sometime.

    newt, we can call it adventure, thats what you would really experience if you to follow the river down, and i just love crawling, climbing, hanging and rappelling on those cliffs and falls.

    and one of the best memory i had there is to see and observe a variety of shrub or plant that has a plastic like transparent trunk with one or 3 wide pinkish transparent leaves also, that when you move or touch it, the leaves emits smoke.we found it at the base of the tallest fall.
