Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Chasing Waterfalls: The alluring cascades of Inambakan Falls, The Philippines by @mariasalve

It's a new week and I am back with a new entry for my Chasing Waterfalls series. In my previous post, I showed you the beauty of Mantayupan Falls. As I have mentioned, there were two other waterfalls James and I went to after Barili. One is in Badian and no, it is not the famous Kawasan Falls — though I will definitely write about it next time. The one we explored is a hidden waterfalls in one of town's mountain barangays. But, as the place remains unknown to many and untamed (thankfully), I've decided not to blog about it here and keep it a secret. Because as what @kev.incredible said, some places should remain secret.

🥈 Orators' Pond, Hatipler Göleti, Turkey by @passenger777

Sometimes the places I visit are so deserted that it makes me uneasy. I feel like I'm walking in a forbidden place. When I look around, I realize that not many people visit here. It looks like an abandoned nature. I'm talking about Antalya's Hatipler pond. In fact, even though the lake has revealed itself with its quiet and clean appearance, I think it is left alone and unattended here. Let's lie down to nature and view the Hatipler pond together.

🥉 Alamada and its Curtain Waterfalls : Asik-asik Falls, The Philippines by @thestrollingmind

Alamada is a town in Mindanao, the southern part of the three groups of islands of the Philippine Archipelago. Being judged as an unsafe portion of the Philippines to travel to, because of the Abu Sayaf (local terrorist), Mindanao's natural sceneries have been secluded to foreign tourists and even to the other countrymen. Good enough that the efforts of the local authorities and the national military deployed in the different parts of Mindanao are making sense now, keeping the country safe, especially those secluded places that are rich in beautiful sceneries with the vision to promote local tourism, such as Alamada- a top tourist destination in Cotabato region.
