The Kawasan Falls is a three-stage cascade of clear turquoise water from mountain springs located in the jungles of the Cebu island. The falls are part of the Kawasan River in Badian, Cebu, in the Philippines.[2] The water from the falls originates from the Kabukalan Spring and passes through the Kawasan gorge en route to the Matutinao River and the Tanon Strait.[3] The largest waterfall is about 40 meters high, followed by smaller cascades and turquoise water pools that invite swimming.[4] It is a popular tourist destination and is known for its tranquil and relaxing environment, and the adventurous can even enjoy a raft ride or a dive off cliffs.[5]
Kawasan Tourism[edit]
As of June 2023, access to the falls has been halted by the Cebu Provincial Government.[6][7]
