South Cotabato has proven to be one of Mindanao‘s best kept secrets that is now aggressively gaining popularity. After our adventure at Lake Holon at T’boli, we were headed for Lake Sebu to see more of what the province has to offer. The mountain town of Lake Sebu, also famous for its three lakes: Lake Sebu, Lake Seloton and Lake Lahit, is also home to the indigenous T’boli community . Aside from that, it also boasts of various natural treasures: lush forests and plantations, placid lakes, rivers and waterfalls that will surely prove to be worthwhile to visit.
After coming from Surigao del Sur to see Tinuy-an Falls a couple of days before we reached Lake Sebu, we still haven’t had enough of seeing not just one, but seven waterfalls so we added The Seven Falls as one of the highlights of our itinerary for Lake Sebu. It was very rainy on our first day, I was constantly waiting for
updates in the news and looks like that leg of the trip will be accompanied by another tropical depression. We still chose to push through with our plans, good thing our habal habal drivers were also up for the challenge.
One of the main tourist spots in Lake Sebu is the Seven major cascading falls located at Barangay Lake Seloton. We were told that the local clan of Dongon are the caretakers and owners of these falls.

We were told that the local clan of Dongon are the caretakers and owners of these falls. Additionally, only five of them are accesible to tourists since Falls 6 and Falls 7 will take long hours to trek by foot.
This attraction is quite popular since there are a number of activities that you can also accomplish here. By the entrance, there are already a number of shops that sell shirts, bags, and other souvenir items so it’s a great opportunity to do your pasalubong shopping.
