On its own, Sinulom Falls is already a pretty breathtaking sight that will make you awestruck every time with its extraordinary beauty. 28 majestic streams of water gracefully cascade down from different points on rock walls thick with the vibrant green of plants and other vegetation.

It acts as the centerpiece of the entire natural spectacle with its surroundings thriving with nothing but the force of life. The actual resort has a swimming pool directly facing waterfall spectacle with a couple of umbrella cottages lining the perimeter of the pool to shade the people from the heat of the sun.

On the other hand, the cool and refreshing springs of Bolao Cold Spring is just a 500-meter hike away from the waterfalls with its own unique display of natural beauty. Crystal clear water from the river is collected which forms into the shallow spring. It is also surrounded by various trees and other flora which help create the atmosphere of relaxation around the springs.

Various sizes of rocks dot the entire spring forms walls that act as a deterrent to the strong currents of the river, effectively creating a gentle spring of crystal clear water. The spring maintains its refreshing cold temperature throughout the day which makes it the perfect place to cool off especially on hot days. There are also umbrella cottages around the spring and spacious wooden cottages that can be rented.
