Biliran Island in the Visayas is known as the Island of Waterfalls so part of our itinerary in this family vacation was to chase waterfalls. After our trip to Tinago Falls, we headed to Casiawan Falls in Brgry. Casiawan, Cabucgayan. The place is also accessible from the highway and is right beside the Casiawan Elementary School. The area surrounding the falls is maintained by a private entity and we had to pay P20.00 to enter the area.
To reach the waterfalls, we descended a series of cemented stairs that led us to a smaller catch basin of a cascade. But this was not the main Casiawan Waterfalls. Looking farther up, we saw the waters dropping from a higher point. That was the Casiawan Falls. We climbed another series of stairs to reach the waterfalls. Compared to Tinago Falls, Casiawan Falls has a lesser volume of water that's why the area below the waterfall was shallower.
We dipped into the shallow stream below the falls then later, at a hut, we ate our lunch of grilled mackerel tuna (tulingan), chop suey (stir-fried mixed vegetables), sea weeds, and sweet lanzones. After our lunch, we were on the road again to chase another waterfall, the Casabangan Waterfalls.
