Description and is it worth a visit
Cuyaoyao Falls (Cuyaoyao Waterfalls or Kuyawyaw) - located 40 kilometers from El Nido on Palawan, and is considered one of the largest near the resort. It consists of three waterfalls, each of which consists of several levels, which are reached by a well-equipped trail through a beautiful forest in the Cuyaoyao Natural Park. You can swim in the pools at the foot of the largest waterfall.
Unfortunately, the fee for his visit is completely unreasonable, besides you still have to pay for a guide. Therefore, we advise you to go here only if you want to walk through the forest with a guide and learn something new about the local flora and fauna. If you just want to swim in refreshing water and take beautiful photos, it's better to visit some other waterfall in the vicinity of El Nido cheaper.
