Labi-Labi Falls, La Carlota City

So let me start off with...

Grabe bes! The place was so refreshing and the rock formations were so beautiful. Parang nasa ibang bansa lang. The place was so unspoiled that I didn't even want to disclose where it was fearing na baka masira ang beauty nya by irresponsible travelers in the long run (sorry na, but being a traveler you can sometimes get protective of nature’s beauty haha edi wow!), BUT here it is anyways...

I guess from Bacolod you can ride a ceres bus going to La Carlota City. Since we went there using a private vehicle I don’t know exactly how much the fare is and for that I am sorry HAHAH! Anyways, when you get to La Carlota, you should get-off at the stop before entering Guintubdan. From there, you can take a tricycle going to Brgy. Araal.

The path going to the falls is fairly easy. I guess you can rate it 4/10 since it mostly goes downhill (but all mamumundok knows that the easier to go to a place is, the harder it is to get back since it will be mostly uphill. From 4 to 7 real quick HAHAH! ). Be careful too since the road is undeveloped and can be slippery if it’s raining.

Also, the road is too narrow and the rocks are sharp so I guess it’ll be quite difficult for cars to fit there.

Here are some pictures of your destiny…este path you’re going to take going to the mystical place.

After that 20 min hike, taaaannn! This is it! ENJOYYY!!.........joke! HAHAH entrance pa lang to guys. Hahahah!

So this will be your gateway to paradise. Easy right? NOPE! That entrance is deeepppp you guys!! ‘Yung super excited ka na and feeling mo ang dali-dali lang tapos pagpapawisan ka pa pala at hihingalin bago makapasok…pero medjo lang naman hahah! You need your swimmer izskillz to get through it since the current wouldn’t let you enter paradise too easily.

So, this is what you’ll be seeing na after overcoming that part. Eton a rin yung part na ma-iinlove ka na talaga sa place. Mapapa-WOW ka talaga! The place looked so magical you guysss! Who would have thought na 2 hours away lang pala to?

My heart goes *lub dub dub dub dub dub* na sa part na to.

I mean, just look how those rocks are formed by nature over-time!

And here is your personal pool everyone! Ahhhhh nothing beats fresh water goodness. And for your hindi marunong lumangoy friends, it’s not all deep, may shallow parts nmn and they can enjoy the water as much as they can.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there bes! You can also go further above BUT! You should have a guide with you because bes, with any adventure, safety first! Baka matangay ka ng tubig tapos ma bagok yung ulo mo sa rocks oh diba baka maging haunted pa ang place because of you. Hahaha!

And this is the first thing you’ll see pag naka akyat ka na. Oh dba? *Insert fairies here hahah!*

THAT'S IT!

Ah! Oo nga pala, konting tips para less hassle yung adventure na ‘to for you and your buddies:

1. Bring as little valuables as you can, especially if you're planning to leave your bags at the clearing before entering the falls.

2. Bring those water-proof or dry bags with you! We barely kept anything dry kasi we were not expecting na entrance plng malalim na pala. So if you’re a photography enthusiast like me, better keep your precious phones and cameras safe. Action cams are good too, pero for me kasi nothing beats photos taken by my phone camera. (nope, hindi advertising ‘to although I wish it was hahah!)

3. A rope could also come in handy for support against the strong current.

4. It’ll be easier to go barefoot especially when it’s time for climbing falls and swimming. You’ll get the job done easily talaga going barefoot.

5. For people like me na sensitiveang paa, just bring sandals bes incase your foot gets sensitive na. The soil is mostly soft there and the rocks are small so it can get painful in the long run.

P.S. Please always be responsible travelers and clean-up after you're done with the place because the beauty of every destination should always be preserved. Safe travels!
