Mambukal Falls - Negros Occidental - 08/24/08
The 7 falls of Mambukal can be seen at the Mambukal Mountain Resort in the town of Murcia, Negros Occidental. It also serves as gateway to Mt. Kanlaon, the highest mountain in Visayas.
We bypassed the first six waterfalls to focus on shooting the 7th and the topmost falls. It took us 2 hours of hiking before we reached it. We didn’t regret on climbing up to the last falls because it was indeed beautiful.
