Can-umantad Falls Bohol Trekking

Mabuhay, mga Kaibigan! Welcome to the Can-umantad Trail, your pathway to one of Bohol's most captivating treasures, the Can-umantad Falls.

This trail is not for the faint-hearted – it's a thrilling adventure that covers 10 kilometers of winding paths, river crossings, boulder scrambling, and hill climbing.

But for those brave enough to take it on, it's an endeavor that promises exhilaration and rich rewards.

A short trek to the falls offers a good introduction to the terrain of Bohol. The terrain compreses mostly low, rolling hills covered either by grasslands or tress.

Riversides have heavy growth of trees and vines creating small versions of canopy rain forest. The rivers may involve water crossings and some parts may be deep. Expect rock hopping and a scramble at the end near the foot of the waterfalls.

The high hills of Bohol offer vistas of the far flung Camiguin Island and the Hibok-Hibok Volcano can be visible in clear days.

Some of the wildlife that can be seen may include birds, monitor lizards - some of which may be one meter long - and snakes. Occasionally one may meet the rare purple-backed lizard, a local reptile with green body and a high purple fin on its back.

The Can-umantad trail is a wonderful Bohol Trekking day trip offering various activities like swimming, sun bathing and a picnic outdoors.


Challenging Cambia Route Bohol Trekking

The 15km Cambia route is a more demanding extension of the Can-umantad trail. This route leads to the village of Biabas in Guindulman town. The Eskaya tribe inhabits the area. The tribe likes their isolation and speaks a distinct language. A guide would definitely be advisable in this area.

This route may take seven hours plus the stop at the water falls. The hike involves plenty of hills which are quite difficult in Bohol standards.

The treks start at the Kanawa springs in Barangay Can-umantad, Candihay Town. The first 15 minutes covers rolling grassland. Then the trail runs up a 45 degree angle to the top of a hill with a good view. From here one can already see the waterfalls
