tinuy-an falls, surigao del sur

bear with me as i attempt to draw waterfalls, again. someday i will get better at this. last weekend we went to surigao del sur to enjoy the sights, we rented a van in davao city and left at 4am, the driver was doing an average of 80km/h on straight and zigzag roads, he was driving quite fast. our first stop was at tinuy-an falls in bislig at 9am, it was raining when we got there so i had to draw in less than 5 mins. also sketched some trees i suggest to plan for more days than just the weekend so you can spend the whole day at tinuy-an falls and enjoy the place. our total expenses for the whole weekend, per head was 3000minimum, it included overnight stay at la entrada resort, food, transportation, tinuy-an falls, enchanted river, island hopping at enchanted river, and island hopping at britania for trips to surigao del sur from davao, contact miss Cita the coolest tour guide ever 09268838606 in britania, contact her sister miss Myrna 09182155398

this is a tree just above the falls, this falls sadly has no water during hot seasons and is brown when it has been raining heavily, lucky for us when we were there the water was clear. going to this falls to bathe was a side trip while trekking to mt. kan irag ,
