Oh, Balabac! After long hours spent on reading guide after guide, daydreaming about those pristine white sand beaches and super clear turquoise waters, I had finally reached the most distant municipality in the province of Palawan.
Rio Tuba
I have been traveling solo to distant places for quite some time but whenever I do, there is a part of me that still gets anxious. The fear of the unknown always lingers at the back of my mind but I normally overcome it with ease however, the road to Balabac was the one trip that got me so edgy. As soon as I got out of Puerto Princesa Airport, I hopped on a tricycle going to San Jose Terminal to catch a van bound for Rio Tuba.
My Bataraza, Palawan experience did not just stop in discovering Lalatuan Falls because apparently, it has one more awesome site waiting for me that day and that is Kapangyan Falls.
Tucked in the forests of Barangay Malihud in Bataraza, the southernmost municipality of mainland Palawan are two of its precious wonders, Kapangyan Falls and Lalatuan Falls. However, there were very little information about Kapangyan Falls and Lalatuan Falls online that’s why finding an article about the hidden gems of Bataraza was a huge step forward in making my DIY solo side trip to Bataraza possible.
