Another must-see in Badian is the majestic Kawasan
Falls, one of many waterfalls that make up the Matutinao
River System, which stretches 18.35 kilometers from the
Municipality of Alegria to the river's mouth in the
Tañon Strait. Its source if freshwater comes from a
large underground reservoir that emerges to the
Kabokalan Springs. The river system, composed of
springs, streams abd waterfalls, has been awarded
several times in the past years as the Cleanest and
Greenest River in the Philippines. In 2003, it earned
the Hall of Fame award for the rivers category.
The Kawasan Nature's Park is the entry point to the
river system, the Kawasan Falls and the Kabokalan
Springs, which is approximately a two-kilometer uphill
walk toward the Matutinao River Canyon. Different kinds
of flora and fauna along the river canyon give visitors
the feeling of slowly entering the forest.
