For today’s adventure, I’m going to introduce to you one of Balilihan’s premier attractions, the Camugao Falls. The Camugao Falls is situated at Barangay San Isidro in the municipality of Balilihan, which is about 22 kilometers from Tagbilaran City. This hidden gem has a beautiful backdrop of green and lush vegetation with lots of ferns and other tropical plants. The water cascades into a basin forming a natural pool where people can bathe and refresh themselves. But before you see this wonderful gem, one has to go thru a very slippery, mossy and rocky trail which is a challenge for climbers and trekkers.
Camugao Falls is truly a hidden gem. It’s far from civilization that even the way to get there isn’t that easy and will really take a great effort. I hope in the near future, it will be developed and would be much accessible to other tourists.
TRAVEL TIPS
- There are no cottages at the place so bringing a small mat or blanket with you would be ideal. Bringing umbrella would be perfect too, because when we get there, we almost burn to death because of the scorching hot weather, good thing the water is ice cool and refreshing.
- There’s also no food stalls nearby so if you are planning to stay there for quite a long time, I suggest you bring your own food.
- There’s also no CR or dressing room in there, so the only way you could change clothes is through the trees and thick shrubberies.
- And lastly, I really discourage going there during summer because as you can see above, the water falls isn’t that pouring a lot of water. You’ll appreciate it more during ber months or during January to February.
