The area around the lake consists of mountains covered by jungle. (Duh, of course there are mountains or at least hills – it would be extremely difficult to have seven waterfalls on a flat land…).

First of all, I need to confess that I haven’t seen all the seven waterfalls that are in the vicinity of the lake. But if you are in the area and have more than one afternoon to spare, hiking from one waterfall to another can be an interesting experience. Five of the seven falls are fairly easy accessible. The remaining two require some more hiking (counted in hours not minutes).

I have taken only a few shots of the surrounding terrain. The reason for that is very simple – I just had to try go on the zipline. And it would be a shame to accidentally drop a camera into the jungle below. I know, I know, some people go ziplining with their digital cameras. I left the camera and took my action cam with me.

So for all you adrenaline junkies – this is where the fun begins (and it costs a mere 300 pesos and a 3 hours wait):

I said a mere 300 pesos for a reason. In case you don’t know the lake Sebu zipline actually consists of two rides: the first one is over 700 meters long and will take you from Falls No. 1 to Falls No. 5. There you need to walk a few meters and get on the second zipline which is 400 meters long and will transport you to Falls No. 2 area. And what a way of transportation it is!!

The line hangs about 180 meters above the jungle. During the ride you have the chance to see four of the waterfalls. The view is truly amazing. It’s a pity that the longer stretch lasts about 45 seconds while the shorter about 20. Even if it lasted 10 minutes you would still enjoy it. If you consider the above you will agree with me that 300 pesos is not that expensive.

This is the landing zone at Falls No. 5:

And here are some photos of the falls and surrounding area:

In my next post you will see the video that I took during the ride.
