Pagsanjan Gorge National Park, National park with river gorge in Laguna Province, Philippines

The park extends over 152 hectares around limestone cliffs along the Bumbungan River, leading to a three-tiered waterfall with cascading pools.

Civil Governor Luke Edward Wright established the protected area in 1904 as Caliraya Falls Reserve before its reclassification to national park status in 1939.

Local boatmen navigate traditional wooden canoes through the river gorge, carrying visitors upstream through passages between rock formations.

The park entrance sits 100 kilometers southeast of Manila, with boat trips starting from multiple riverside resorts in the municipalities of Pagsanjan and Cavinti.

The Devil's Cave chamber exists behind the main waterfall, accessible by raft through the natural pool at the base of the falls.
