Bambana Natural Cove Formation, La Union
Arosip Ecotrail
From the municipal hall, one has to take a 30-minute ride via Barangay Casiaman. Upon entry to Barangay Arosip, visitors are immediately greeted by the cool shade of towering trees planted along the road which is equipped with a number of tire-paths. Located 440 meters above sea-level, 4x4 and dirt bike enthusiasts will find the road very exciting especially because of its dramatic panoramic view of lowland Bacnotan. From their, one can see the national highway, South China Sea, Holcim Cement and other prominent structures or landmarks.
After negotiating the 6.5-kilometer road, visitors can drop by the Tribal Hall for information from the tribal leaders and barangay officials where the real adventure begins, a 45-minute descending trek where four waterfalls await. As visitors hurdle the trail, fruit tress and birds add nostalgia to the trek. One could also see countless springs, looking like miniature waterfalls, providing water to the vast plantations. As hikers near the waterfalls, a feeling of excitement and sense of rush engulfs everyone as the sound of flowing water gets stronger and stronger.
Upon reaching the bedrock which serves as tributary line for three waterfalls, trekkers are amazed with its gigantic area, an astounding 150 meters x 20 meters. A good camping site during the dry season, it becomes a giant floodway during the rainy season.
