Hello, World Mappin! And shoutout to all the amazing travelers and adventurers in this community! Wishing everyone in good health and endless energy to keep exploring the world, let's make one adventure at a time!
Together with my friends, we discovered the refreshing and relaxing Lintungan Falls in the middle of the mountains of Lintungan, Quezon, Nueva Vizcaya. To reach it, we hiked for about 45 minutes from where we parked our car. The road was in good condition, but it was a steady uphill climb up, up, and up! hehehe. Despite the scorching heat of the sun, we pushed on, knowing that at the end of the trail, there is a cool and relaxing waterfall waiting for us. And it was absolutely worth it!
After a long hike, we finally reached the waterfall and the moment I saw it, it felt like it was calling me to jump in right away! hehe But first, we took a short break, laid out our packed lunch, and recharged. After resting, we change our clothes and dive into the cool and powerful rush of the falls!
But Before jumping in, of course, we had to take in a quick photo op. Capturing every angle we could! hehe picture is life. The water flow was pretty strong, so some of our friends who aren't used to waterfalls stayed near the edges where it was calmer. But for those of us who grew up swimming in natural falls, we headed straight to the diving spot and leapt right into the rushing water!
We swam non-stop, only getting out when we started to feel a bit tired and hungry. After enjoying our packed lunch and taking a short rest, we headed back into the water for another round of fun. While we were busy swimming, one of our friends who also acted as our guide took some time to capture a few happy moments. After a few hours in the water and feeling fully satisfied, we decided it was time to wrap up. We got out, changed our clothes, packed our things, and took one last photo op before heading back down the to where our car was parked then finally made our way home.
By the way, the entrance fee is only 20 pesos per person definitely worth it for the fun and refreshing experience we had swimming in the waterfalls!
This place may be far, but the joy and memories we create when we finally arrive and swim there are truly incomparable. Though the water keeps flowing, the moments we've captured on camera remain frozen in time. Looking back, it feels as if those memories and the sense of fulfillment from the adventure are still with us.
