Limunsudan Falls, Two-tiered waterfall in Talakag, Philippines
Limunsudan Falls is a two-tiered waterfall in northeastern Mindanao that cascades down a significant height. The upper tier feeds into the lower one, creating a natural water feature shaped by the mountainous terrain.
The area experienced significant logging activity starting in the mid-20th century, which altered the landscape and water flow over time. These environmental changes have shaped the character of the site for decades.
The Higaonon people inhabit the area around the falls and maintain a deep connection to this landscape. Local guides from this community share their knowledge of the forest and the waterfall during visits.
Reaching the falls involves a motorcycle ride from a nearby town followed by a short walk through forested terrain. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for muddy or wet trail conditions.
The base of the waterfall is surrounded by distinctive basalt column rocks that rise like geometric formations from the earth. Although the spot appears inviting, swimming is not permitted due to powerful and unpredictable currents.
