Aliwagwag Falls, Multi-tiered waterfall in Cateel, Philippines
The waterfall stretches 340 meters high with 84 distinct tiers, creating a continuous cascade of water flowing through natural rock formations.
Prior to modern road construction, visitors could only reach the falls by taking boat rides along the Cateel River through dense forest areas.
The Mandaya Tribe considers the waterfall a sacred natural resource, integrating its presence into their traditional practices and community life.
Visitors can access the falls through a five-hour drive from Davao City via Compostela Valley Road, with local guides available at the entrance.
The falls connect through 13 rapids positioned within the forest and include 136 steps of cascading waters across natural stone formations.
