September 14, 2013. Surely our 4-hour travel paid-off when we witnessed fresh water running and pouring down the Awao Falls nested in secluded area of Brgy. Awao, Monkayo, Compostela Valley Province.
Its huge rocky figure made it stand still in spite of the typhoon which blast-off most provinces of Comval on the previous year.
This falls sounds new to those who never heard of it, even most of their locals haven't gone in the tourist spot they have.
Greatest thing here was its purity- all surrounded with trees, pebbles and rocks. It doesn't have a huge pool but you'll meet an instant massage in its flashy water pouring closer into you.

From Davao City Ecoland bus terminal,Awao falls can be reached through bus bound to Tandag or Butuan, it all stops at Monkayo terminal with 3-hour travel (P170.00)
From Monkayo terminal, you can ask direction from a local to skylab terminal with route to San Jose and Awao.
In Awao terminal, ask for drivers who can be your driver/tourist guide. You can charter the ride for 500-600. You'll be spending another hour in a real bumpy ride and an additional 20 minutes trekking, with more or less 650-700 steps going down to a sloppy way.

I remember on our way to our last hour travel using skylab as the mode of transpo, we've witnessed the traces left by typhoon Pablo in the area and how residents fought just to live normally.
Inspite of what had happened, these people never forget to smile.
Right after the tiring journey, you'll come to witness the virginity of the falls and take a pride of being one of the few who visited it.
