Everybody here in caramay knows there is a waterfall in the mountains, but nobody seems to know where exactly it is.
Even when you ask the old people in the village, the dont know whre it is. The only know there is a fall, but they have never been there.
Only thing they know its far in the mountains, and they know the area is beautifull there, the water is icecold .
Thats why i call it the hidden waterfall, everybody knows about it, but nobody seems to know how to come there.
After long time asking and asking around I found a person, who had made a trip to the falls a few months ago.
And more important he is willing to guide me to the place.
Next day 8 in the morning we start our trip in a coconutplantation near Caramay, the first oneandahalf hour we walk through a relatively flat landscape, with mixed rainforest and coconuts.
We have to cross a 20 small rivers only kneedeep water, very clear water, we can see many small fishes.
After that we have to climb a steep hill covered with rainforest, en the we go down in the valley where the fall is located.
In the small vally it feels like aircon is turned on ,very cool temperature. We can here the waterfall already.
Its not very tall, maybe only 8 or 9 meters high, but very beautifull, and the surroundings are very unspoild here.
I guess this fall is one of the best kept secrets in Palawan
