PAMUAYAN FALLS

To get there, you can either walk the 3 km along the new road before entering the forest or take a tricycle (around 150₱. If you wish to walk, start at the beach and walk to the far end where you’ll emerge at the road. Turn right and shortly you’ll see a rocky track leading off to the left.
