Pagsanjan Falls, Three-tier waterfall in Cavinti, Philippines
Pagsanjan Falls cascades down through steep limestone cliffs, creating three distinct drops that total over 100 meters in height along the Bumbungan River.
The first documented tourist excursions to these falls date back to 1894, during the Spanish colonial period when visitors traveled by traditional dugout canoes.
Local guides navigate traditional wooden bancas through fourteen rapids, demonstrating generations of expertise passed down through families in the Pagsanjan region.
Access to the falls requires a guided boat trip from Pagsanjan town or a hike through Pueblo El Salvador Nature Park from the municipality of Cavinti.
Visitors can experience both upstream and downstream journeys, with skilled boatmen maneuvering through narrow gorges and multiple rapids in specialized wooden vessels.
