Dikaan Falls: A Hidden Gem of Tranquility and Beauty

 November 29 2023, with my friends, we planned to have an unusual adventure. Instead of the usual tourist spots, we wanted to visit a lesser-known waterfall in our neighboring village called Dikaan Falls.



At exactly 12:00 noon, we all met at a friend's house. None of us were carrying any luggage, only money, phones, and ourselves. We were excited to start our journey and experience the beauty and tranquility of Dikaan Falls.

We rode a tricycle to get to the village where the waterfall was located. As we left the town, the cool breeze invigorated us. The trees around us provided shade, making our journey pleasant.


When we arrived at the village, we got off the tricycle and headed to the start of the trek towards Dikaan Falls. It was already 12:20 noon when we arrived and began our ascent. The path was narrow and littered with rocks and trees.

We didn't notice the time passing because of the joy and excitement of the journey. The chirping insects and visiting birds added to our enjoyment. When we had reached halfway, we felt the cool breeze from the nearby waterfall. This served as a reminder that we were close to our destination.

After almost 10 minutes of trekking, we finally reached Dikaan Falls. The beauty of the waterfall amazed our eyes. The water falling from above, along with the deep white liquid, was such a beautiful sight that we didn't need any camera filters to take photos.

A moment after we arrived at Dikaan Falls, we decided to plunge into the creative water. The environment made a pleasant sound in our ears, enticing us to bathe and splash in the water. After a few minutes, we got tired and decided to rest at a nearby bathing area.



During our rest, we started catching up and chatting. We heard the sounds of singing birds and birds passing by. The peace and happiness brought by nature at Dikaan Falls was clear in our eyes.

The entire day at Dikaan Falls gave us an amazing experience. It not only showed us the beauty of nature, but also gave us the opportunity to be together and rest from our usual lives and obligations.

We lost count of the moments we enjoyed at Dikaan Falls. As the late afternoon hours approached, we decided to return and bid farewell to the beautiful waterfall. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we rode a tricycle back to our village but the beauty of Dikaan Falls will remain in our hearts until we return.

Our experience at Dikaan Falls is a memory of simple joy and friendship. This lesser-known place has proven that you don't need to go to far places to experience the beauty and tranquility of nature. The white water and surroundings of Dikaan Falls showed us that even in small places, beauty and peace can be found.

This place is truly one of the amazing chapters of our lives. It is a reminder that travel is not just about famous destinations, but also about the little paradises waiting to be discovered

Pambihirang kagandahan ng Balete Tree o Millenium Tree

Image
 Sa mga nagdaan na araw na puno ng mga problema. Nagsabay sabay na problema sa pera, pamilya, pag-aaral, at iba pa. Kasama ang aking mga kaibigan, naisipan namin na pumunta sa isang lugar na kung saan makakalanghap ng sariwang hangin at makasulyap ng magandang kapaligiran na makakatulong upang aming pansamantalang makalimutan ang reyalidad at makahinga sa mundong ating ginagawalawan. At unang pumasok sa aming isipan ang pinakamalapit at sikat na pasyalan na pinupuntahan ng maraming turista, na nagmula pa sa iba’t - ibang sulok ng Pilipinas at ang iba ay nagmula pa sa ibang bansa. Ang pinaka malaking puno ng Balete sa buong Asya, na may lawak na higit kumulang animnapung (60) metro, taas na animnapu’t  lima (65) metro, at tinatayang edad na higit sa 600 taon ay nagbibigay ng kahanga-hangang tanawin. Mula sa aming paaralan, naglakad kami sa patag at malawak na kalsada patungo sa natatanging Balete Tree o tinatawag ding Millenium Tree ng Brgy. Quirino, Maria Aurora, Aurora na a...

Puno ng Kagandahan: Ating lakbayin ang paraiso ng Marieya Resort.

Napapalibutan tayo ng isang malawak na mundo na puno ng mga gawain at mga responsibilidad na naghihintay na ating tuparin. Kaya naman minsan kailangan din nating magpahinga at takasan ang mga pasaning ito. Sa harap ng mga pagsubok at trahedya na umiiral sa mundo, mayroong isang pook na nag-aalok ng panandaliang pahinga at katahimikan— ang Marieya Resort.  Isang araw, ako at kasama ng aking mga kaibigan ay nag desisyon na magpahinga muna sa mga gawain at responsibilidad kaya nagpasya kaming mag piknik sa lokal na turismo ng aming barangay, ang Barangay Santa Lucia kung saan matatagpuan ang paraiso ng Marieya Resort. Dahil sa aming palagay mas mahalagang itaguyod namin ang aming lokal na kayamanan kaysa sa mga malalayong lugar.  Ang Marieya Resort ay kilala rin noon bilang Maracay Resort na dating pagmamay- ari ni Nancy Lacuata ngunit ngayon ito ay pagmamay- ari na ni Auril Rey Saturno Duyag. Ang resort na ito ay matatagpuan sa Purok 3, Brgy. Santa Lucia Maria Aurora, Aurora...

  Noong isang araw, kasama ang aking mga kaibigan, kami ay nagplano na magkaroon ng isang kakaibang adventure. Sa halip ng mga karaniwang tourist spots, nais naming bisitahin ang isang hindi gaanong sikat na talon sa aming kapit-bahay na barangay na tinatawag na Dikaan Falls, ito ay isang maliit na talon at nanggagaling ito sa taas ng bundok, ang daan patungi dito a makipot at mahaba kasya din dito ang motor subalit alam namin na malakas ang agos ng tubig dito sahil umulan sa mga panahon na iyon, kaya kami ay nag pasya nalang na pag dating namin sa looban ay lalakadin nalang namin ang huling ilang metro ng daan. Nang dumating ang ika-12:00 ng tanghali, kami ay sabay-sabay na nagkita-kita sa bahay ng isa naming kaibigan. Ni isa saamin ay walang bitbit na gamit ang tanging dala lamang namin ay pera, cellphone at ang sarili namin. Excited kami na simulan ang aming paglalakbay at maranasan ang kagandahan at katahimikan ng Dikaan Falls. Sinakyan namin ang isang tricycle para makarating ...
