New Corella is a landlocked municipality between Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley provinces. The 2nd class town of 52,015 is one of Davao del Norte’s biggest rice producers.
It would be a pity if picnickers and nature lovers miss out on this gem. A 10-minute drive from the center of this agricultural town, Panas, is an idyllic mountain resort tucked deep in a forest and nestled between the hills, replete with natural multitiered waterfalls that cascade to a lagoon where intrepid swimmers can take a dip in its soothingly cold, crystal-clear waters.
