Here are the Best Falls in Bohol:
Mag-Aso Falls
My first stop was the Mag-Aso Falls located in the town of Antequera. “Upon arrival, the sound of rushing water and the sight of towering trees were greeted by me. A short hike down a concrete stairway led to the foot of the falls, where crystal clear blue-green waters were greeted by me.” I couldn’t resist taking a dip, and the water was refreshingly cool. The falls also have a small area for picnics and relaxation.
Pahangog Falls
Next up was the Pahangog Twin Falls, located in the town of Dimiao. A bumpy 30-minute motorcycle ride led me to the jump-off point, and then a 15-minute trek through lush forests and steep terrain led me to the falls. The twin falls were breathtaking, cascading down a 30-meter cliff into a serene pool below. The water was quite cold, but the view was worth it. I spent a good amount of time taking photos and enjoying the scenery.
Can-umantad Falls
Another highlight of my trip was the Can-umantad Falls in the town of Candijay. The falls, with a height of around 60 meters, are considered the tallest in the province. A 30-minute trek through rice paddies, farms, and forest led me to the falls. The trek was a bit challenging, but the view at the end was worth every step. The falls were majestic, and the mist from the water felt refreshing against my skin. I felt like I was in a hidden paradise, surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Ingkumhan Falls
Lastly, I visited the Ingkumhan Falls in the town of Dimiao. A secluded area tucked away the falls, and an adventure in itself was had in getting there. A 20-minute trek through a dense forest led me to the falls, which cascaded down a 15-meter cliff into a clear pool below. The water was cold, but the view was stunning. I spent some time relaxing by the falls, enjoying the peace and quiet.
Overall, my experience exploring the best falls in Bohol was nothing short of amazing. Its own unique charm was possessed by each falls, and it was made even more rewarding by the trek to get there. It’s incredible to see how nature can create such beautiful wonders, and I feel grateful to have witnessed them firsthand.
