More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start before dawn, climbing a sharp ridge where wind tugs at your jacket and the limestone spikes of Osmeña Peak stand like a ragged skyline. From the summit the island folds away: steep green terraces, the sliver of Negros to the west and Bohol faint on the horizon when visibility holds.

History
Osmeña Peak is the highest point on Cebu and sits above farming communities in Mantalongon; Kawasan Falls follows river channels cut through ancient limestone karst, long used by locals for bathing and irrigation.
Conservation
Local groups run regular clean-up drives (some access points close for community clean-up); visitors should avoid single-use plastics, follow guide instructions and stick to marked lines to reduce erosion and bank damage.
