Hiking Notes:
If you are in a large group better hire Jeepney from Cogeo to start the Trek early, because the sun is exhausting at 8/9 oclock.
Wear a proper shoes because the rocks in every falls are very slippery.
There's not much guides waiting during weekdays so it's better you have a contact person before you visit.
November - March is the best season to visit the rest of the month,.. the falls are Dry or not swimmable.
