Hike & Seek- The Hidden Bohol Waterfalls
The long drive is definitely worthwhile because of the extremely difficult road that leads to our first waterfall destination, the Inkumhan Falls. It is a secret location with a lovely, picturesque stroll down. Ingkumhan Falls also has a swing and a place where you can leap off over the cliff. Of all the tourist attractions in Bohol, Ingkumhan Falls should unquestionably be ranked among the best places to visit. We now hike to see the spectacular Pahangog waterfalls (also known as Dimiao Twin Falls) which are surrounded by large trees and other rich greenery, creating a cool and energizing mood in the magnificent mountain scenery. Even at the height of the summer, its distinctive traits remain, and its water slowly flows in three streams across slopes and rock formations that create a semi-circle, without concern for being swept away by strong currents. For those looking to escape the heat, Dam-agan Falls offers a spectacular array of adventure. The area is very magnificent in its natural state, and its waterfall can bring about an amazing sense of contentment. The reason it was given the name Dam-agan was due to the stiff, narrow aisle's potential for trip hazards. (Dam-ag Visaya term of Fell off).
