A cool pre-dawn wind pushes across the spiky grass of Mantalongon as hikers tighten their packs and push toward the jagged silhouette of Osmeña Peak. From the ridge, islands bruise the horizon and low clouds sit in the valleys like slow rivers. Later the group trades ridge lines for river canyons — Kawasan’s turquoise pools daring you into an afternoon of jumps, slides and swims beneath a curtain of limestone.
