kabukalan spring in badian

Kabukalan Spring is located in the forest area belonging to Badian Municipality in Cebu Province. This Spring is out-of-this-world cool in various meanings or nuances of that word.

Badian Municipality is about three hours from Cebu City, the capital of the province. The municipality is one of the travel destinations among trekkers, canyoneering enthusiasts, and other sorts of adventure-seekers and nature-lovers.

Badian has both the mountains and the sea. Due to such travel resources, travelers from various parts of the province come and then decide later on which among the two they prefer to enjoy with. Some prefer both!

Among the mountain adventures, Kabukalan is one of the destinations in Badian. One can get there as a solo trekker or with a guide or group. Or, you can get there by availing a package service by an accredited canyoneering company.

And if you decide to go to the beach, which you can avail through a beach resort near Kawasan Falls, you have various options for sea activities, including snorkeling, scuba diving, island trips, among other exciting services.

You can swim or dip in the cold and refreshing water for as long as you want. If you are in a group or part of tour group, you can slide of Kabukalan’s water slide… could be fun!

kabukalan's story

Depending on one’s vantage point, Kabukalan Spring’s exact geographical location is relative. For example, one could say that this enchanted spring is part of Kawasan Falls – one of the most popular waterfalls in the province (the others include: Montaneza Falls, Mantayupan Falls, etc.).

Taking that claim here, Kabukalan is considered to be the top-most level of Kawasan Falls. Also, another reason that makes this spring famous is that it is where hikers that traverse the Mantalongon mountains exit from their adventures, including after their climb of Osmeña Peak (or OPeak).

These adventurers do not come out or exit through this spring area due to its strategic location, but also because of its fantastic and enchanting sights. In addition, they come here to dip themselves into the cold spring water.

Kabukalan Spring's stream converges with another famous Matutinao River where canyoneering activity is being offered to such adrenaline pumping activity.
