Amsikong Falls General Santos City


AMSIKONG FALLS
General Santos City, South Cotabato  

This itinerary was based on the event on which General Arze had participated with.  This itinerary may not be the best suitable for you or for your group as backpacking depends on the speed and endurance of each climber.

Amsikong Falls is located between the territorial boundaries of General Santos City and Polomolok town in South Cotabato.  This falls flows from the mountaintop river in Camp Flores in Polomolok down to the granite boulders and limestone cliffs of Barangay Conel, creating small pools.
