Sheltered From the Mist - Batad, Philippines

After trekking for 6 hours up and down rice terraces, I finally arrived here…paradise.  The Tappia waterfall near the rice terraces of Batad, Philippines was worth the harrowing trek down a steep cliff.  Normally waterfalls are a big disappointment to me, but this one was worth it.  The water was cool and the place secluded.  I felt as if I had wandered into the Land of the Lost.
