Kadampat Water Falls in Labrador, Pangasinan

     In a very forestry place in Labrador there is a site that you may visit this is Kadampat Falls. In going there you can only spend 500 pesos if you come from the Town of Binmaley this is suitable for yourself only. An unexploited place such like this is very cool to visit. The rocky and dusty road there is not hindrances for you can’t go because I assure that this one of the most beautiful site here in Pangasinan.

     

     While walking along the distance you can sought busy native people doing their household chores and busy farming with the help of carabaos, there are some also cutting died trees for theme to used as a charcoal. The red soil also is best for pottery making, so the people there are has already been their culture to do works in not easy way of living. In entering the flowing river you can observe the huge rocks surrounded by algae, you can’t find a lot of freshwater fish because so rare to find it.

    The river flows is not too fast unlike the other river and is not deep as well. Even the grasses are tall as like human; basically you can see miscellaneous trees on top of the river banks such like mahogany, kamachili, different variety of bamboos, etcetera.

While walking besides of the river you can’t pleas yourself to touch the flowing water, very clean crystal water. You can also here the pouring water of the Kadampat Falls even if you are far because the quantity of flowing water is heavy. 

     This is Kadampat Water Falls; you can see their huge hole wherein the water goes down. A majestic stone formation is amazing to look it at, in down area there is again big and deep hole, where in you can swim. The deepest part estimated 32 feet deep, which will be good if you are practiced swimming sports. Many good swimmers comes in Kadampat Falls to enhance their ability to swim other are just find this area because of their friends to relax, unwind, doing an outdoor activity, to remove the stress and to forget the problems they have.   

 Many elite persons wanted to construct a Nipa Huts and the very native house we called Bahay Kubo for the local and foreign tourist, who wanted to stay there just few days. But the environment will suffer and the native people lining there will be affected the traditional life probably their doings would be extinct because they no longer do their traditional way of living, basically in this aspect they would become a tourist guide, but then there are contrast on this idea. If we’re being given a chance to go here please been aware and used the environment, the God gifts Eco-tourism in a good way.  

This is our experiences in Kadampat Water Falls with my classmates, we amaze and astonish by the views, we enjoy swimming, diving, and eating, and of course to forget the problems in school and other activities and this is during the semester breaks vacation.
