Sian Falls — Attraction in Surigao del Sur

It may not be as popular as its neighbor (tinuy-an falls), but this falls is equally beautiful at least to my standards. There were no tourists when we got here. We had the place all to ourselves. It was not even in our itinerary since we did not know about this falls at all. Our habal2x driver just informed us about this other falls we might want to consider visiting. Well we had a bit of hesitation honestly. But we were simply drawn to the adventure. So yeah, to the falls we went. We were surprise to see nobody around. There were no stores selling souvenirs stuffs and all. I'm not sure though now. It was 4 years ago since we came here. Things might be different here now.. Yup! It is a very late review. What i loved most about the place when we got here was how natural it was. We didn't see anything else here. It was only us, the falls and a small open hut humbly tucked in the corner. Nothing else. The place was not developed to receive too many tourists yet at that time. Which was perfect. We only came here for the falls after all. There weren't much of things to do around here. So we just enjoyed our time taking photos. Take nothing but pictures as they say. The place was just too beautiful. Lablab kau.. ❤️❤️❤️ Should you come here, always remember, the "environment is no one's property to destroy; it's everyone's responsibility...

Beautiful falls close to town. The is a hidden 💎 gem. There is approximately 1.7 miles of narrow dirt road, but its well maintained and not a lot of traffic. Once arriving at the parking area, there is a 300 meter walk along a mostly cement path. It was about 1 meter wide at the start and about half that closer to the falls. There is still a short section in the middle in process of upgrading to cement. I expect it will soon be completed the whole way. At the falls there are some picnic cottages being built. Currently there is no charge, but it will soon be 10 pesos per person and 100 pesos to rent a cottage. ...

I suggest a biodiversity assessment should be conducted here and a conservation plan be made so that the area can be managed well. This place has a lot of things to offer more than just a tourist spot. Brgy. LGU with the DENR should collaborate with this. I hope this environment will remain as natural as it is and be kept away from tourism...
