Safety in Maguindanao del Sur
This is the area to arrange rather than improvise. Several municipalities carry standing advisories and a visible military presence, and clan disputes are a real and local phenomenon that outsiders read badly. Travel with a local contact who knows the specific town, coordinate with the LGU, and treat any plan that does not include those two steps as incomplete.
Kuhan Falls is a series of cascades in a lush, mountainous part of South Upi.
South Upi is also where Monom, the Teduray weaving and craft tradition, is practised; visitors can watch the artisans work and buy from them directly.
