Ayo and I planned to cruise Laguna with no particular destination in mind. In advance, we did some research about different places to visit in Laguna but everything were still variables until that actual day.We took a bus ride from Legarda to Siniloan. At the bus stopover in Siniloan, we asked some locals about some possible tourist spots to visit within the area. And they were unanimous in their response about the nearby Buruwisan falls.
Since the bus will the linger for a while at the stopover, we opted to hire a trike to maximize our time. From the bus stopover terminal in Siniloan, we took a tricycle ride towards the barangay leading towards Buruwisan falls.
It was already 10 in the morning and we decided to dine first at Trois restaurant. This is the only restaurant within the area and is a stopover spot in this barangay. A few steps across Trois restaurant is the road that leads toward the Buruwisan falls.
As we hit the road, the people in the area told us that we were quite late because it was almost noontime. Since we were already there, there was no turning back.
The locals, young and old alike, present themselves as tour guides. It is always advisable to hire tour guides if you are new to a place. It is hard to pretend and explore the place by yourselves because you are entirely unaware and a total stranger to the place. In case of emergencies, there will be someone to call for help. Anyway, the tour guides charge only a minimal fee for an unlimited company.
We were flocked by teens, trying to win our favor to act as our tour guide. We happened to select someone from the group, way older from the rest but eventually he gave up due to the protest of the kids. The young man happens to be driving a tricycle and is already earning. For that reason, he politely beg off and turn us over to the kids. And from the group, we selected the oldest. Actually, we only selected one but since they have friends, one of them volunteered to join us.
At first, the trail towards the falls is an easy one. Under 30 minutes of fun hike, we reached the foot of the mountain. And my agony was about to start.
