“Aginod sa Aguinid Waterfalls, Cebu.”

After four years I made another visit to Aguinid waterfalls together with Van. Hours down the road we arrived in the southern town of Cebu almost late in the morning.

I’ve heard a story that the named of the falls was based on the local term for slow, which is “aginod.” Or to walk around slowly but locals aren’t convinced as they can casually walk around the steep slopes even before the handholds and footholds were carved by the local government. Aguinid waterfall is a multi-tier waterfall. Going up was a climb of many thrills: wading in the flow or swimming where the water pools, stepping from rock to rock, climbing and pausing to take a shower. The water gushes over sparkling white slabs of limestone. The entire watercourse is blessed with cool, turquoise waters. The trail is covered with lush canopies, think of it as canyoneering’s mellow brother. It may not be as adrenaline-pumping, but it’s as rewarding.
