Kawasan Falls is the Philippine waterfall known for turquoise pools along the Kawasan River on Cebu.
The waterfall is in Badian, on the island of Cebu. It consists of several cascades and pools surrounded by tropical vegetation, with the largest and most recognizable pool below the main cascade. The vivid color is influenced by clear spring water, limestone surroundings, depth, and sunlight.
Kawasan is a popular destination for swimming and canyoning. The river’s gorge and smaller cascades create a route that differs from a single isolated waterfall viewpoint.
Kawasan Falls is sometimes confused with Maria Cristina Falls, which is a major hydropower waterfall on Mindanao. Maria Cristina is associated with the Agus River and Lake Lanao system, while Kawasan is a Cebu waterfall famous for its blue pools.
