Have you ever been to a place with several waterfalls? I would like to share my favorite place, ʻCEDARʼ. CEDAR is one of the preserved areas in my province, known for its four beautiful waterfalls. Exploring CEDAR through hiking has been my favorite summer activity. Among the waterfalls, Gantungan Falls is the most amazing to me. It is also the most challenging and difficult to trek, but it's all worth it when you see the falls. You can dive, swim and enjoy the refreshing cold water.
For hikers and visitors, CEDAR is open from 6 am to 4 pm during the summer season. However, during the rainy season, it may be closed or open only in the morning. You are welcome to bring your own food but please make sure to take your trash with you when you leave.
