Although the beauty is enough to attract both local and international tourists yet still it is not officially recognized well. It is hidden upon massive watershed and several rain forests in its topographic areas. It made the gigantic waterfalls to inaccessibility with its status in today the falls and the life in the terrain were in present danger. Limunsudan Falls remain strange to most of our countrymen.
Visitors enjoying the beauty of the waterfalls Even in the internet, when I searched for Limunsudan Falls' images, I can only see a few pictures taken on the ground, most of it are taken from above, obviously from aerial shots during an area reconnaissance and surveys conducted by the military and other authorities.
Aerial view of the waterfalls
The source of the waterfall is feed by the abundant lush from the highlands of Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur as it is bounded by the two provinces. Also, through looking up the Google Maps (satelliste view), I can manifest a few evidence that the waterfall is also one of the exit waterways of Lake Lanao.
Although it can be reach by foot for a two-day trek from Brgy. Rogongon, yet local authorities can't pledge and assure a safe trek to the area as it is said that Moro separatist group are still roaming and present in the surrounding locations.
