    Pagsanjan Falls

    After early morning pickup from your Manila City Centre hotel we will travel for about 2.5 hours to Pagsanjan Falls, this is located in the province of Laguna, around 100 kilometers drive south of Manila. This falls is one of the most famous waterfalls and a major tourist attractions in the Philippines. This falls can be reached from the top by a short vertical hike from Cavinti Town. Hike the falls going down from the town of Cavinti, Laguna through Pueblo El Salvador Nature's Park and Picnic Grove, in Brgy. Tibatib. A few small falls are located upriver by hiking from the park. The topmost stage of Pagsanjan falls, known as Nakulo Falls, can only be viewed from the view decks of the park. Only the top of the middle falls is visible from the park. To reach the main falls, one has to go down a steep steel ladder, which in one section goes vertically straight down. Upon your arrival at the falls, swim and enjoy the cold fresh natural water of the mountains of Laguna Province and another tourist attraction that you can visit behind the falls is called the "Devil’s Cave", with the cave resembles a devil’s face. You can take it easy inside this dark, scenic cave or take a ride on a bamboo raft which is already included in this tour. Hike back up and you can take your lunch at the town center of Pagsanjan before we go back to your hotel.

    Experience a secluded lake sits in a 35.25 hectares remote area where you can swim and ride a bamboo raft cottage. Lake Yambo is considered oligotrophic, and is suitable for swimming, outings, and picnics. Guest are rafted towards a quieter and more pristine portion of the lake. Here the rafts dock at a point close to a huge tree where guests can enjoy swinging from a thick vine hanging from the tree. This is the area where guests are allowed to swim (and are required to wear life vests for protection).
