BIG-OT WATERFALLS RIVER Big-ot Falls is located in Brgy. San Isidro, Hilongos, Leyte. It has become popular to the Hilongosnons earlier this year when the incumbent Mayor, Hon. Albert Villahermosa, visited the place. When the visit was shared online, Big-ot Falls has become the talk of the town. Big-ot Falls is not yet popular to people outside of Hilongos. I am also thinking of keeping it away from the outside world to preserve it, but it is too difficult not to blog about its pristine beauty. It really was captivating. ❤ If you are looking for an adventure, the path to Big-ot Falls is ready to give you one! Big-ot Falls is nowhere near the barangay proper. It is in fact located near the next barangay. To reach the falls, you must trek on top of hills and inside some forests. Walking on top of the hills will give you such breathtaking views.

Hilongos’ Concepcion Dam  Because we were so hooked up with cold waters (probably because of the summer heat), we explored the famous dam in Hilongos, Southwestern part of Leyte. We were heading North of Leyte province so our  activity of the day was to visit the Concepcion Dam. The dam was a wide stretch of concrete stairs which restricted the flow of water making a beautiful staircase waterfalls. It was built across a huge river and it became an instant attraction in Hilongos, Leyte.    People will go there for washing,   bathing as well as swimming in the river. It wasn’t as magnificent as what we expected but for me it was something that worked its way with nature. Manmade however, but it supported the dam and the people of Hilongos and the neighboring towns. But before anything else safety first! Enjoyment is always but DANGER is everywhere! Thing to remember when you go there: -always put your trash on every trash bin, never  leave a single plastic or even a candy wrapper. -alwa
