Things to Do in Catanduanes: Trek to Talahid Falls

Talahid Falls, Bgy. Kabungahan, San Andres, Catanduanes 
Our amazement for this province never ceased from the moment that we landed, and things just got better. As part of our whole day adventure-filled itinerary, we were brought by the San Andres Tourism Team to a trek to Talahid Falls.

Talahid Falls, like the other untouched beaches that San Andres Tourism Team accompanied us to, was just recently discovered as part of their exploration activities (How I love their job!). It took thirty minutes of a slippery and challenging trek down a trail which is initially narrow and characterized by soft soil and tall grass and the hissing sounds of insects (just like a jungle scene from a suspense movie), which becomes wider and characterized by boulders and a stream as we neared  the falls itself.

Although the San Andres Tourism Team's helpfulness was incomparable to other guides I have been with, the trek to Talahid Falls remained an arduous journey. Me and my twin took turns slipping, and my twin slipped so hard that it left a bruise with the size of a fist on her leg. For a while there I somewhat felt bad, since she admitted that it had been the most adventurous, buwis buhay thing that she has done to date. But a part of me took pride because I was able to influence her to do something which she did not know she could do. We both agreed that being able to trek to a recently explored waterfalls in an ultimately remote location was the experience of a lifetime. Everything was magical - save for the bruise (I'm really sorry!!!).
