Kaytitinga Falls, Three-tiered waterfall in San Jose del Monte, Philippines.
Kaytitinga Falls is a three-tiered waterfall located within a natural forest setting near San Jose del Monte, dropping in successive stages. The cascades form a series of pools and streams at different levels, creating a layered water system throughout the area.
The name comes from the Dumagat word tingga, which refers to lead minerals present in the geological formations of the area. This geological feature has long defined the location within its natural setting.
The Dumagat indigenous community has maintained a strong connection to this place for generations, relying on it as a vital water source. You may encounter local residents who know the area well and help maintain the paths.
Access requires a forty-minute walk along the forest trail that starts from the assistance point at Purok 6. The path goes through wooded terrain with muddy sections, so wear appropriate footwear and bring water for the hike.
This waterfall is one of three connected falls that together supply water to multiple local communities downstream. The network of these three waterfalls functions as a vital water distribution system for the region.
