Aliwagwag Falls
Best time to visit
Visit early morning for softer light, fewer people, and cooler hiking conditions. Dry season, March to May, gives clearer water and less slippery trails.
Budget tips
Small municipal entrance fee applies, typically around PHP 50–150, plus a modest parking fee so bring cash; card machines are uncommon. Save by joining a shared jeepney or group tour from Mati or Cateel and pack your own snacks and water.

About
Datos rápidos: A ragged staircase of about 84 separate cascades creates a spectacular visual of layered white water, each drop framed by green ferns and polished black rocks. Cool vapors rising from the pools can numb your toes, while the thunder of the falls masks any distant highway noise so you feel wonderfully removed from everyday life.
Destacados: Each of the 84 tiers forms its own emerald basin, so you can clamber across shallow shelves and discover a slightly different waterfall sound at every step. Sunrise often paints the mist with dozens of miniature rainbows, and local guides point out a mossy ledge where villagers leave small woven bracelets as offerings, a tactile custom that smells faintly of smoke and damp pandan leaves.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy water shoes or grip-soled sandals for slippery rocks and stairways.
- Start at the lower viewing deck for wide-angle shots, then climb a few tiers for close-up cascade photos in mid-morning light.
- Carry a waterproof bag, extra cash, and a small first-aid kit since facilities are basic.
- Avoid weekends and local holidays for fewer crowds, or arrive before 8:30 AM to secure parking.
