Going there is a 230-pesos-ride worth of fun, adventure and unforgettable nature trip. The rip going there is in itself an adventure. One has to ride a habal-habal, a motorcycle turned public transport, while enjoying the luxurious scenery and once-in-a-while trek in places the habal-habal had some problems getting through.
The exact location of this falls in Negros can’t be reached by the motorcycle itself. Visitors have to trek some 338 steps just to get to the place. But once you reach Casaroro Falls, all of the tiring traveling would be forgotten. For people who are tired with the hustle and bustle of their city lives, they will surely find zen and serenity not just in the falls itself but also in the trip going to the falls.
Unlike other falls which has wide cascades, this falls has a narrow opening where the water falls. This makes the water drops heavily and this causes a wide and gargantuan roar to echo all over the place. The roaring sound that the water makes as it plunges sounds like nature’s therapy in action, curing the traveler’s weary hearts.
These characteristics make the falls both wonderful and unique. Needless to say, the Philippines is truly blessed with almost all of nature’s wonders, and one of these is the Casaroro Falls.
