Trekking the Tinakayanan Falls during the summer months

Framed by rocks at the lower level, you can dive into the deeper pool. Just be cautious when doing so because there is an underground cave next to it carved by the strong curred during the rainy season.

Climbing the rock walls will lead you to the upper shallow pool.

How To Get to Tinakayanan Falls

From Manila: Take a bus bound for Alaminos, Bolinao, or Anda. These busses will pass by the intersection in Magsaysay going to Bolo and Labrador. Tell the driver to drop you there. Tricycles are available for hire in the area where you can take one going to Sitio Kadampat.
