The Tuddingan Falls in La Union - A Brief Description

Unlike other waterfalls in the province which have poor accessibility, visitors have the luxury of walking on a 700-meter cemented pathway with grills beside Bagulin Road up to the hill overlooking Tuddingan.

The sources of Tuddingan Falls are the numerous water springs in the mountains which also supply the vast rice land of Naguilian. All year round, Tuddingan promises a fantastic view, showcasing clean and strong water.

This towering beauty of about 70 feet has a man-made pool-like at the base which makes it more tempting to swimmers, especially for those who love to make daring dives by jumping from its perfectly formed multi-layered rock strata. Tuddingan Falls was the venue of 2004 Global Reunion of Naguilian, where the Balikbayans’ homesick feeling was instantly quenched by the charming waterfall.
