Sta. Catalina - Mansanagan Waterfalls

Mansanagan Waterfalls is located in Mansanagan, Kabulacan in the municipality of Sta. Catalina, Negros Oriental. It's not a known waterfalls, and I didn't even know about the name until I made this blog post. Let me share to you the beauty of the hidden waterfalls in Sta. Catalina.

Mansanagan Waterfall

How to get there? 

Book a flight to Manila, Philippines, then check out for a flight to Manila to Dumaguete City. Then, turn west going to Sta. Catalina. It's about 92 kilometers and almost an hour bus ride from Dumaguete City. In the town proper, friendly locals will definitely help you find a guide to Mansanagan waterfalls.

We never expected to see the waterfalls, because Sam - a friend who invited us - told us only about the mango farm they have in the area. But, the mangoes were not yet ready for the harvest, so we spent the rest of the day in hiking going to Mansanagan waterfalls.

Ready?

It was after breakfast, and the sun was up. The weather cooperated but it started to drizzle when we're almost about the place. The rest house was in Kabulacan, and we have to take a drive to Mansanagan.

The trail was already slippery when we started to hike. But with the thrill and excitement, we push through and walked till we reached the waterfall. I wasn't expecting a challenging trail. I even stopped and took some photos. I was almost left behind 'coz I wasn't afraid at all. We reached the waterfalls and enjoyed all through out. We waited till the rain stopped and got back our way to the rest house.

I couldn't stand, couldn't do anything with my feet 'coz it really felt like jellies. I couldn't depend on them, so I put all my weight on my body and hands.

Finally!

But it turned out to be different after the rain has poured down. I really didn't expect that it would be life and death situation on our way back. This was the simplest and unexpected waterfall trip I had, but it was the most unforgettable one. No matter how beautiful the waterfall was? I wouldn't dare come back.

I love adventures, escapades, and outings, but I am such a coward when it comes to heights and extreme situations(but not really a phobia). That's the reasons why I am not convinced with mountaineering. I just love to visit places with typical roads and trail. I am just a wanderer! 

Thank for the visits this week. I have been busy, but I hope you won't get tired of accepting my excuse. I am visiting your blogs too, just that I am not leaving any messages 'coz it's either my internet is slow or I'm at the office and pop ups are block and Java script is disabled.
