Epol Falls, Waterfall in Marilog District, Davao City, Philippines.
Epol Falls is a waterfall in Marilog District, Davao City, where a mountain stream drops over a rock face into a natural pool below. The site sits within a forested area with dense tree cover, mossy rocks, and a forest floor that stays shaded for most of the day.
The area was formerly known as Green Valley before the local community gave it its current name. Epol stands for Everlasting Power of Love, a name chosen to link the place to the idea of lasting connection.
The Matigsalug, an indigenous community of the region, manages the site and receives visitors directly. Their presence is felt through the guided trails they offer and the care they put into keeping the surroundings intact.
The waterfall is reached by a forest trail that starts from the main road and runs through dense woodland. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the path is uneven and can become slippery after rain.
Because of its name's connection to the idea of lasting love, this spot has become a popular place for marriage proposals. Couples come here to mark the moment beside the falling water, making it one of the few waterfalls in the region with this kind of reputation.
