My Trip to Matigol Falls

My friend left me a message if i could join them to Matigol, Arakan, North Cotabato. They told me that there is falls there and that they knew also the indigents of the village where we will spend our night.

After my hitch mode going there due to financial constraints, we arrived there by april 11, meeting different climbers who went there also to visit the falls and embraced the coolness of the wind while walking for 1 hour under the heat of the sun several kilometers from Camp Uno of Marilog District to Matigol.

BTW, I experienced again sitting in the top load of the jeep since there are no available seats for us.We spent our first day in visiting the Lake Kawa. Lake Kawa is the top portion of the falls. It was called as such since it is like a big frying pan. Kawa is a bisaya translation for huge frying pan. From this lake, you can see the falls if you will look downwards from its cliff. You can see also from afar the sunset/sunrise. So we grabbed this oppurtunity and we took some pictures for purpose of posting it to friendster and other social networking site. LOLS.

We went back to the village and I saw again the amazing view of the place. I think i was teleported to South Korea since this kind of place is like the scenes of South Korean Movies' shoots. whew!

We spent our second day in falls. We walked more than the distance we travelled from village to Lake Kawa plus the heat of the sun and no other source of water for drinking. HOWEVER, this moment was replaced by the good view that we saw during our walk. You can see the sky clearly, the green grasses, tall trees of mountain, hear the water from rivers, flying hawkesvil eagle and other wonderful masterpiece of our creator. FURTHERMORE, it was totally repaid when we arrived at the falls. WHEW! it so wonderful, it is so amazing!

After lunchtime, we leaved the village. We bid our goodbyes to them and they said their own farewell to us. This experience is trully worth to treasure. I hope that i can go back and visit again the deepest secret of our nature.
