The Kawa-Kawa Falls are located in Bangcuangan, Marinduque, Philippines. Named after the pools carved by water from the rocks that resembles big kettles locally called kawa. The falls is a series of three cascades but the favorite and the biggest pool is top one.

Fed by a cascade descending some 8 meters, this is ideal for swimming measuring some 10 meters in diameter and a depth averaging 4 meters at the center. Read More:  http://greedypeg.org/marinduque/Kawa-kawa-Falls.html

Let us take a closer look at a paradise undiscovered by many, the KAWA-KAWA Falls. From the name itself, it is a water falls with a kawashaped basin (Kawa is a cooking utensil that looks like but is bigger than a typical frying pan). The falls is located in the mountainous part of Barangay Bangcuangan, Santa Cruz, Marinduque.

This place is very close to my heart because I grew up spending almost every summer vacation here. This is where I learned my first freestyle and back strokes with the help of two tied floating coconuts that served as my life support.

Whenever my high school classmates decide not to attend classes, this becomes the party venue.  Read More:  http://journeyingchemist.blogspot.com/2012/03/closer-look-kawa-kawa-falls-marinduque.html

Our first stop was Kawa-Kawa Falls. We had to walk up for about 5 minutes as it seems that vehicles are prohibited near it. It was a series of small falls, one after another, pouring in its fresh mountain water to small like basins. We joined a few locals as had a good swim around each of them. The water was cold but really refreshing.  Read More:  https://mytravelpad.com/tag/kawa-kawa-falls/
