The concrete road through Almeria’s rolling hills came to an abrupt end just before a forest clearing and we had to leave our motorbike and driver. Soon we were hiking down a narrow trail that turned muddy and slippery in some parts. We had to remove our slippers for better traction at one point but fortunately the trek wasn’t that long. The falls were at the bottom of the trail but we still had to cross an onrushing stream on moldy rocks to get a better view. My half-century old knees were still trembling from our muddy descent but fortunately our guide Zaldy and his cousin Nestor were there to help Oggie and me cross the stream with our packs.

We only had to stop briefly at some point to catch our breath but otherwise we did not have any problems going back up. A farmer chatting with our habal-habal drivers even gave us several bananas – for free! (Biliran has among the friendliest people I’ve met.)
