          We reached Pangyan Falls via Nabunturan around 40 KM. The roads from Nabunturan to Pantukan are not cemented but paved, Banay banay and Lupon are newly cemented. Going out is via Mati around 20 KM of newly cemented road.

The 49th Waterfalls - CESAR FALLS

Location : Brgy. Mapawa, Maragusan, Compostela Valley
Date : September 26, 2015


            Maragusan can be reached via Nabunturan or New Bataan or Mati. Going there we took the Nabunturan route which is around 50KM the roads are partly cemented and partly rough to unpaved road.. Going out we exited Mati. The road to Mati around 55KM, also passes the towns of Pantukan, Banay Banay, and Lupon and are composed of unpaved and newly cemented roads.


            To reach Cezar falls from Maragusan travel for around 5 KM on the road going to Mati, upon reaching Brgy. Mapawa, ask for directions , better yet get a guide. The roads going to the jump off point of the falls are tricky. You will enter the complex and intricate world of banana plantation, We got lost several times. The jump off point is on the top portion of the mountenous part of the banana plantation, There is a house where you could ask for directions. From the house you will be directed to a grassy and muddy small trail which ends up in a river, go upwards to reach Cezar falls. Total trekking time 45 minute to one hour.
