Have You Heard Of Himbabawod or Himbabawud or Himbabawd Waterfalls In Barangay Bonbon Cebu City?

by - 2:24 AM

Last week, a group of Cebu Bloggers escaped the dusty environment of the City and savored a tranquil life at Lava Mountain River Farm. It was an amazing day living in a perfect sanctuary. But that doesn't mean we did not engage into some adventurous activities because on our second day at Barangay Bonbon, Cebu City we did not fail to visit the spectacular beauty of Himbabawod or Himbabawd or Himbabawud Waterfalls.

After our 7 AM breakfast at Lava Mountain River Farm, we then prepared ourselves and grab some drinking water as we went River Trekking for an hour before reaching the "not-so-discovered" Himbabawod/Himbabawud Falls. It was not a sunny morning as rain drops started to fall. Thanks to our accommodating guide from Lava, Lemuel Nacua - he is calm and very patience. Kudos!

Before you proceed reading, here's a little trivia. In the topmost part of the waterfalls is the so called Binuthan Cave. It is a solutional cave located at the Border of Bonbon and Sudlon, Cebu. A solutional cave is formed when the natural acids in water gradually dissolve soft, soluble rocks such as limestone, chalk, marble, gypsum, dolomite, or salt. The water seeps through faults, cracks, bedding planes, and other crevices. Over several millennia, the cavities formed by the acidic water expand to become cave systems.

    1. Hi Ben and Kathy, Thanks for dropping by! For safety, I cannot assure bringing your kids on the hike. But I believe with preparations and a guide, the kid can do it!
