Daranak Falls

Daranak Falls is a waterfall in Tanay where water drops 14 meters into a natural pool surrounded by green vegetation and rocks. The cascade creates a continuous flow that moves through the entire area.

The site was developed into a popular recreational destination in the late 20th century by local authorities. This development made the location accessible and attractive to visitors.

The name comes from the Tagalog word 'Dadanak', which describes how water flows down the rocky surface. Visitors can sense this connection to the local language as they approach the cascade.

Visitors should arrive in the morning or early afternoon when the site is less crowded. The paths to the pool are well-used, but sturdy shoes are recommended for the wet and slippery areas.

Local food vendors near the falls sell traditional Filipino snacks that visitors can enjoy while they cool off in the water. These informal food stands are part of the everyday experience at the site.
