Located at Brgy. Sicao, Tamyong District Calinan Davao City, Approximate of 3 hours hiking, the trail is not going easy as you  thought, expect not your typical fun, sweet, cute day hike..:))


As always there is nothing to compared the beauty of nature, the clear crystal water, the coldness, the calmness of the place makes you think how we are closer to the god creation.
