BInanga Falls Trek (Shilan, Benguet)

Our Summer Get-away to Binanga Falls at Shilan, Benguet

trekking, brook swimming, cliff diving, and cave exploration at Binanga Falls , traversing those huge river boulders, and steep climbs through rock faces and dirt paths

 This is the view from the top of the hill, as we start traversing those steep dirt paths, see those luscious green?

 Here's from where we start traversing

 My late cousin Francis Daniel "Dangkiko" walking through the dirt paths

 those trees are the ones we passed on the last pave road

 A steep rock leads us to the brook, seen here are my cousins Francis Daniel and Allane, That was so steep it's almost at 45 degree, so walking barefoot is advised

 There's the Binanga Falls, with is rich cold and clear water,

 seen here are my cousins looking for some tiny fishes and crabs

 My super kulit cousin taking a dip at the "kiddie pool" while trying to catch some guppies

 A view to the river path, see those huge river boulders? I wonder how high would the water be

 My cousin posing at the waterfalls, did you see the legendary "head"

 A view from the top of the falls, as we prepare to jump to the lagoon, the height was about 20 feet I guess?

 Here's a view from inside on one of Shilan's Limestone cave, it pitch black inside and what we have to guide us is a small LED flashlight from one of Shilan's local resident which serves as a tour guide

 the river path with it's lush greens and boulders, what a great relief to our eyes

 Swimming at the clear cold lagoon, they said that there ain't no one who successfully reached the bottom, at it was believe to be too deep, the deep green colour coincides with their story

an extra ordinary experience from one of Shilan's proud, Thanks to our guides, thanks to our tito and tita, our cousins and to the locals as well, this place is really something to be proud of!
