7 WATER FALLS AND ZIPLINE ADVENTURE One of the tallest in Asia, the Seven Falls Zipline runs at 180 meters above ground (around 300 meters above sea level). It is divided into two lines: the first extends 740 meters, and the other 420.

It has a 2.9-kilometer (1.8 mi) wide caldera with steep walls that rise 200-500m above its crater lake  known as Lake Holon.  Climbing any mountain can be a bit daunting, especially if you have never been into the wild before. Deciding to climb is a feat in itself, considering the physical and emotional stress it can bring. As summer continues to give us sweltering heat, Filipinos and foreign tourists alike scour for places to escape the unforgiving heat in the met
