Finally, the seventh falls will have you in awe-struck with its mesmerizing beauty. Plunge in Kalaja Fall’s crystal clear pool that looks like a cauldron hence it’s name derived from the word Kalaha, which means frying pot. Categorized as the tallest waterfall among the seven, it is a popular swimming spot for guests not only because of its beauty but also because of its widder swimming area compared to the others. The deepest part of the pool is sixteen feet. Replenish your energy with a sumptuous lunch before heading back.
On the way down, you can also try spelunking at Kalaja Cave, a cave once used by Japanese soldiers as their hiding area during the World War II. It is one of the most known cave in General Santos.
