South Cotabato: Surallah

On our way home from Lake Sebu, we passed by again on this famous land mark in Surallah, South Cotabato. These eye catching sculptures depicts the lives of the T'bolis, Muslims and Christians and this work of art was made by Mindanao artist Kublai Millan. Such a good place for a stop over. 

South Cotabato: Punta Isla Lake Resort (A Place Where Life Blends with Nature)

After the exciting zipline and lay our eyes on the Seven Waterfalls of Lake Sebu, we need to fill in our stomach with some sumptuous food. We headed our way to Punta Isla Lake Resort located at the tip of Sitio Tokuful, Brgy. Poblacion, Lake Sebu. The resort is at a very nice location with its view of the lake which adds to its peaceful ambiance. Just staring at the lake made me in touch with nature.

South Cotabato: Zip Line at Lake Sebu 7-Falls

South Cotabato, the ancestral domain of the T'Boli tribe and also the home of the majestic Lake Sebu Seven Falls. Visitors often go to Lake Sebu to see the Seven falls and ride the zipline which gives the nicest view from above. 

Upon arrival, visitors will be asked to pay the entrance of Php20 each.

We trailed 774 steps to get up close to Hikong Bente, the 2nd waterfalls and though going down could be easy, going up is completely different story.

This is just a part of the 774 steps going to and from Hikong Bente.

And to the most awaited part, its zip-line time! The easiest way to see the other falls which is divided into 2 parts, a 740 meter ride from falls 1 to 5 and another 400 meter ride passing through falls 5 and 2 on the parking area, this is just where we realized that we should have visited Falls 2 after the zip-line.
