Status: Temporary safety suspension
All river-related eco-tourism activities in Alegria, Cebu have been temporarily suspended beginning July 31, 2026, according to an advisory from the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
The suspension will remain in effect until further notice due to prevailing weather conditions that may cause sudden increases in river levels and flash floods. Tourism operators, guides, visitors, and other concerned groups were instructed to comply with the advisory.
The order may affect visits and guided activities around Alegria’s waterfalls, natural pools, rivers, and canyoneering areas. These potentially include Cambais Falls, Cangkalanog Falls, and routes beginning along the Kanlaob and Cancalapi river systems. Some Alegria canyoneering routes continue downstream toward Kawasan Falls in neighboring Badian.
Hikers and outdoor visitors planning routes near rivers, waterfalls, or stream crossings should postpone river-based activities and check official local updates before travelling. Trails that cross waterways may also become unsafe even when rainfall is occurring farther upstream.
The resumption of activities will be announced through the official channels of the Municipal Government of Alegria.
