Casaroro Falls & Pulang Bato, Negros Oriental

On our 3rd day in Dumaguete City, we only have 2 places to visit. The Casaroro Falls and the Pulang Bato Waterfalls. I knew it would be an exciting adventure. From Dumaguete, we took a jeepney going to Valencia. Then we hired a habal-habal ride. And woooah, it was a butt-aching ride.

And we finally arrived at the entrance of Casaroro Falls. We need to take 300+ steps going down to the falls. But the pathwalk was heavily damaged by typhoon Sendong. We need to trek the big rocks, which is very difficult for me.

The typhoon Sendong damaged to the path going to the falls. 

Finally, we've reached the Casaroro Falls. 

The falls is very tall and peaceful. 

And now, we need to trek back. The difficult trek to the big rocks plus the 300+ steps going up to the drop-off point. It's really very tiring.

Our next stop, Pulang Bato waterfalls. On our way, I thought we wouldn't be able to make it. Typhoon Sendong heavily damaged this bridge.

Road construction...

On our way to Red River Valley 

And finally, we've reached the Red Waterfalls. The river was actually divided into two. One path  has the sulfur content (red waterfalls), while the other one has the pure water passing on it.

There's another waterfalls at the top of this falls, but we are running out of time, too bad we are not able to visit the bigger waterfalls at the top.

We also visited the Red Hot spring
