This is probably the first time I learn of cascades... those rocks, stones and flowing water formations that is smaller than waterfalls but bigger than rapids. And what better way to learn this by actually going to and enjoying Biliran's Karaha Cascades.Located in Barangay Villa Vicenta in the Municipality of Caibiran, Karaha Cascades is a cool and sulfuric waters where you can submerge yourself in two of its shoulder-deep pools. The waters here are said to have medicinal properties that can cure lots of skin ailments. Plus, the cool water here can surely refresh the weary bodies of tired travelers.
Karaha is a visayan term for kaldero (caldron, kettle). The cascade was named karaha because of the basin-like feature of the pool where the bigger cascade flow. Caution should be taken-though because the stones here can be quite slippery. In fact, one of my companions broke a finger when he slipped within ten feet from the cascades. So take caution when exploring this place.
Here are few shots I have taken of the place:

ReplyDeleteI remember me and my cousins were sliding thru the rocks with the waters flowing over it. One of the must see of Biliran. I wonder if you were able to visit the Sampaw, Recoletos, Ulan-Ulan and Kinaraha. All four waterfalls are lined up together.
