Kawasan was ranked sixth in the world, just behind Yosemite Falls in the United States.

According to the blog, Kawasan Falls is "one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Philippines."

The blog also said, "It comprises many waterfalls, offering incredible views and a relaxing setting. Watch the multi-layered waterfalls flow, and don’t forget to snap a few shots with the dramatic background."  

"Kawasan Falls is surrounded by lush jungle scenery and steep limestone canyon walls. While soaking in the views, take a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters or enjoy a thrilling cliff diving experience," it added.

Niagara Falls (USA/Canada), Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia), Angel Falls (Venezuela), Iguazu Falls (Argentina/Brazil), and Yosemite Falls (California, USA) are OBrien's top five most beautiful waterfalls.

The Kawasan Falls are a popular tourist attraction in the Philippine province of Cebu. It is located between the towns of Badian and Balamban in Barangay Kawasan. The falls are made up of two cascades, the lower of which is the more popular and accessible.



You can go to Kawasan Falls from Cebu City by riding a bus in Cebu's South Bus Terminal. Make sure to take a bus via Barili to Bato.
