ADVENTURE AWAITS
This scenery will require additional Adrenalin, don't go without a tour guide, trail is confusing and you might get lost if you are not familiar with the place. No wonder that some of mountaineers did misunderstood that they have found already the Panigan falls. Don't be misled, the main source of this river is actually came from the area where there has a cave and the water is coming from its orifice and the main falls is situated there.
Expect to be wet while trekking going to the falls.
This river have evidence of multiple layered of waterfalls along the
way, varied in different height and width. Panigan waterfalls measures with an estimated height of 3 meters and 5 meters width side to side.
The source of this system was not yet been known and where the water originated. The opening of the cave has an estimated portal of 1.5 meters
height and 4 meters width.
