Exploring Southern Leyte and the Neighboring Municipalities
April 28-29, 2012

Leyte has a lot more to offer, 2 days wasn't enough.
From waterfalls to caves, lakes and coastal areas, to the high peaks and classic structures... I will be back for more

The Matalom Sunset


After 2 days of roaming around the South and Western coast of Leyte,
I finally got the chance to take a photo of this perfect sunset location in Brgy. Itum, the Municipality of Matalom.

Matalom borders Bato in the north and Maasin City in the south.
It was said that the Spaniards once saw the flaming red of the fire trees that dotted the shores of Matalom Beach and asked the natives the local dialect for “hermosa” or beautiful. The natives answered “Matahum” or “Matalom.” This was the origin of the town’s name..

The Pillars of Mambajao


These are wave breakers made of concretes.
They are put along the main coastal areas of Brgy. Mambajao, Maasin City to block big waves and currents, and make the sea water more calm and safe to the local fishermen.

The Cacao Waterfall


A unique waterfall found in Barangay Combado, Maasin City.
One can find lush vegetation, wildlife cavorting with the cascading mountain waterfalls and chirping birds, in this completely wild and dreamlike part of nature that Maasin City offers.

Lake Lanao


Behind the sprawling forested area of Sitio Danao, Malapoc Norte lies a man-made lagoon known to the locals as Lake Lanao.
Situated at 360 meters above sea level and 15 km away from the Maasin City proper, the lake centers around Damian’s Peak, still another attraction, another wonder in an already wonderful place.
