Awao Falls, curtain-like cascade in Monkayo, Compostela Valley

Water is life and often revered for its healing properties. Modern science explains this phenomenon under the principles of hydrotherapy but there’s often more to it than what can be explained especially when it abounds in nature.

My journey in the eastern part of Mindanao took me to Monkayo, Compostela Valley. It’s a town located in a province that’s largely undiscovered by mainstream tourism.

One long search in the far reaches of Google led me to a handful of photo sharing sites and blogs featuring “Awao Falls”. Suffice to say, it’s not popular among tourists despite is undoubtedly effortless photogenic ability. Its low profile made me even more inspired to go there.

I thought I would just be crossing another item on my bucket list of excellent “off beat” places to visit in Mindanao. I also re-discovered there’s more to waterfalls than a beautiful backdrop for an epic photo to share in facebook.

My visit turned out to be one of my most memorable experiences during my travels this year.
