Hi steemians i just want to share my experience in Osmeña Peak in Cebu with my partner @cinderela. Osmeña Peak is the highest point in the island of Cebu, a province in the Philippines. Standing 1,013 meters above sea level, this stunning site offers a dramatic view of jagged cliffs with a view of the sea in the distance. fact, Mantalongon in Dalaguete is considered the “Little Baguio of Cebu” with its fertile land, cooler climate and vegetable fields. Along the way, we saw farmers carrying large baskets of freshly harvested vegetables.

There are two hiking trails that begin in Badian, passing by Kawasan Falls, and another one in the town of Dumajug, which commences in Brgy Liong.

The easiest and most popular trail, however, is in Dalaguete. While the other three require a multi-day hike, the Dalaguete trail can be covered in half a day. Hikers can start trekking from the Mantalongon Public Market — from here, it’s a two-hour trek to reach the summit. Alternatively, you can ride a habal-habal motorbike straight to the registration area, which is only 15 to 30 minutes from the peak. Hikers are charged a PHP20 registration/environmental fee.

After in Osmeña Peak we go in Kawasan falls in badian Cebu. Kawasan Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in the Philippines, especially in Cebu along with Tumalog Falls. Here awaits turquoise blue water where you can swim around and relax. For those who are more adventurous, one could also embark on a bamboo raft and go for a ride under the waterfall and at the same time receive a tremendous neck massage by the pouring water. Kawasan Falls is a must see attraction while you’re in town, it’s a three-layered waterfall system located at Barangay Matutinao. The water is fresh and crystal clear. At the highest accessible point of Kawasan Falls, the source can be found. It is called Kabukalan "The Source", the fresh water rushes from a small cave and pours over the stones. Climbing up to Kabukalan needs a bit extra energy because it’s quite far from the second level.
