After the failed sunrise and cold weather at Osmeña Peak, Tumalog Falls warms up my heart! Almost 2 hours of travel from Dalaguete to Oslob, we reached Tumalog Falls at 10:00 AM. It was already a busy place.
Tumalog Falls, also called as “Toslob falls” or “Mag-ambak falls”. They are Cebuano terms, “Toslob” means to dip into the water and “Mag-ambak” means to jump. Tumalog Falls is situated in barangay Luka, southern part of Cebu, Philippines. There were lots of motorcycles you can hire going back and forth. A lot of tourists already flocked by that time. Entrance fee is only 20.00 pesos.
Sad to see that the waterfalls were not that thick compared to the photos I saw on the internet. Maybe due to weather? But I am not sure since is a bad weather earlier in Osmena Peak. But I know regardless of that, Tumalog Falls remains beautiful. The water is cold and not too deep. The water might change during a rainy season as per the tour guide.
