Cambugahay Falls, Multi-tiered waterfall in Lazi, Philippines.
Cambugahay Falls is a tiered waterfall on Siquijor Island featuring three distinct cascades that flow into natural pools below. The area sits within lush tropical forest that slopes down the island's terrain, creating a green setting around the water.
The falls became known in the 1970s when local residents began promoting the natural water source as a swimming spot. Over time it developed into one of the island's recognized natural attractions.
The falls hold local meaning as a natural gathering place where residents and visitors connect with the island's living traditions of natural healing.
Reaching the falls involves descending roughly 135 stone steps, with basic changing facilities and equipment rental available at the site. Wear shoes with good grip since the pathways can be wet and slippery from the moisture.
The water stays warm year-round thanks to underground thermal springs that feed the cascade system. This natural warmth means swimming here is comfortable whenever you visit, without needing any artificial heating.
