Zamboanga City, Philippines has many awe-inspiring
things to offer that will help us appreciate much the place. If you are a type
of person who loves to travel and always finds pleasure in adventure, then Zamboanga City is an ideal destination for you
to step in.
Consider Ipa-Ipa Falls! It is situated down in
the forest and valleys at Barangay Capisan, Zamboanga City. This horsetail waterfall
stands almost a hundred feet. The term Ipa-Ipa refers to the husks of rice grains
which undergo threshing, and so the locals relate this to the falling water.
For more than an hour of trekking from the main road
of Barangay Capisan, you will be stumbled on the breathtaking view of Ipa-Ipa
falls. The Impact of the water as it falls toward the ground creates a mesmerizing
vapors that generate a cooling effect as they dash on your skin. Let the power
of this nature bathe you with crystallized clean water and benefit from its
natural massaging effect.
The place may seem to be enchanted because the
area is surrounded by large trees and the things that you could only listen to are
the tremendous sounds of the falling water and the twittering of the birds.
The place is not mostly visited by the locals
because it is not yet well-known and only few dared to visit this tourist attraction.
Never surrender. Why? Because to reach the place, you need to have a strong stamina. The trekking is not that easy for you to do due to the sloppy trails in getting the area. However, if you are used to it then it is fine.
In visiting this hidden falls, one must have to coordinate with the barangay
officials of Barangay Capisan or with the officers from the City Tourism Office.
You can reach Barangay Capisan via
public or private vehicle for around 30 minutes.
Bienvenidos a Zamboanga!
