HULUGAN FALLS AND ALIW FALLS DAYTRIP _ Part 2 – Aliw Waterfalls
With tummies filled, we continued our
jaunt to the nearby Aliw Waterfalls. The
flurry from the earlier Hulugan Falls adventure still loiter in our
psyches.
Aliw Falls though part of Brgy. San Jose
was less than a kilometer away from Brgy. San Salvador of Hulugan Falls. The two are actually within strides, just
note of the gate of a deserted housing project which served as the jump-off
of Aliw Waterfalls. Earlier on, we
informed our guides that we will explore two waterfalls. They’re the one who suggested what to visit
first.
Unlike Hulugan Falls, no registration is
required for Aliw Waterfalls. Still,
many tourist have favored more Hulugan for its height and powerful drop as
compared to the shorter Aliw Falls. Well,
we strolled with same ecstasy as we believe they both have distinct appeal.
At the end of the desolated houses, we
entered a forest where we passed by a former lambanog harvest ground as evidenced by the coconut trees
interconnected by bamboos.
I saw flowers as we trek which had me
occupied ignoring the suns fiery.
The guide led us first to Aliw’s crest
where the group lounged for a while.
The water was so tame, even at the ridge
edge that you can peek at the basin underneath.
Shortly, we navigated the strangled
nearly vertical mass with aerial roots all over that eased the step.
Finally, Aliw Waterfalls revealed its
own marvel with wider and deeper pool enticing a plunge.
It was almost ours at first with only
two other visitors around. Our guides
had their respective shows by jumping through exposed rocks.
We had fun more at Aliw Falls, maybe because of the lesser crowd, the beautiful cascades and the deep pool.
Bamboos surround the basin and I saw one
with crust peeling off that resembled a chute as well.
We left the waterfalls before 3pm, this
time by the shorter trail … We were offered fresh buko, straight from the tree; a perfect thirst quench.
Before we reached the jump-off, a
butterfly shyly showed its wings, sort of a come-back spell. Until next time then…

Also, how long is the trail from the jump off point of Aliw to the falls itself? :)
