Pincered by a Boulder

It was either we were excited to see the end of the trail where we would see the main falls hidden within the forests of Diffun or we were just really fast-paced. Either way, it did not take us more than ten minutes to reach the third falls in our list.

According to our guide Mel, the falls got its name from the fact that the cascades follow a path like a pincer, hence sipit. A big boulder sits atop the falls causing the water to split before going down he basin below. Probably due to weathering over time, but the falls no longer featured a two-pronged cascade. Based on my count, there were at least seven splits.

The water in the falls was inviting as it has a basin that is suitable for taking a dip. Just like in Sabangaran and Nantugaw, however, the time we spent in Sinipit Falls was just enough for us to appreciate its beauty and to take some photos.

When we’re done with the photo ops, we decided that it was about time to start our trek going to the last of the four falls of Diffun. We were not in a senseless haste though, as despite the fact that it would still be at least eight hours before we are able to get back home to Malolos City, we were still taking our time appreciating the beauty of nature before us.

The last leg of our journey to the fourth falls was longer compared to the other ones, but it was still an easy trek nonetheless. Our Quirino adventure was about to end but we have yet to see the grand finale.
