Cavinti, Laguna
Pagsanjan Falls which is locally known as Magdapio Falls is one of the most visited tourist spot in Laguna. Known for its majestic cascading waterfalls, Pagsanjan Falls have grown into a major tourist destination for the region and also one of the premiere world class tourist destination in the Philippines.
Pagsanjan Falls is accessible via Pagsanjan. From the plaza, there are many boatmen or "bangkeros" that offer boat ride (shooting the rapids) going to the main falls. I'm not so sure but I think the boat ride services costs around P1200 to P1500/pax.

Another way is via vertical trek at Brgy. Tibatib, Cavinti, Laguna where Publo El Salvador Nature Park and Picnic Grove is located. Entrance fee is about P250 to P280 per head which includes rappelling gear and guide.
We first walk in a well cemented trail in the forest. Not all the roads are well paved. Although it is not as simple as a walk in the park, you will really enjoy the sight of nature. It is about 15 to 30 minutes walk, then we went down on concrete steps with safety railings. You have to wear a safety harness to go down the cylindrical tube with steps. It is up to you if you want to take the steps down or you want to rappel to make it faster.
After our challenging experience, we finally see what we're looking for. The magnificent Pagsanjan Falls. Your visit is not complete without experiencing the raft ride.
When we are approaching the falls, everyone got excited and some were already shouting out of excitement. It was like a natural massage with a little bit of pressure because the water gushing down our head and body is so heavy. Nonetheless, It was really fun. Something we Filipinos should be proud of! World class experience!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteAsk ko lang sana if may contact person kayo nung nagpunta kayo. Pati kailan kayo nagpunta. Balak kasi namin na magpunta ngayong May
hello, thanks sa visit. Sorry, wala po contact number eh. pero open po sila Mon-sun 8am to 5pm. Usually walk in naman po ung pumupunta. Dun na din po ang registration :)
Deletehi sir! pano po kpag commute going to magdapio falls then underground river. Ano pong mas mgndang unahin pnthan at magkno po lhat lhat ng expenses...?
ReplyDeletethanks for your interest. from where kayo manggagaling? if from manila, take a bus going to sta. cruz, laguna. may HM transit located sa cubao diretso sta. cruz laguna. pag nasa sta.cruz na po kayo, may may jeep na available going to cavinti na po. mas ok puntahan muna ung falls, less travel time papunta po dun. but i advise na agahan nyo kung plan nyo po puntahan pareho. from magdapio falls naman po, may mga tricycle or jeep going to undergroud river but coordinate first to Municipal office of cavinti to secure permit sa Underground rive. thanks :)
Deletehi.. ask ko lang if magkano bayad sa raft at bangkero?
ReplyDeleteand if it is advisable to go there ngayong august?
thanks sa inquiry. as per pagsanjan municipal office, estimated 1200 per head pero im not sure kung ganun pa din. safe naman ung pagpunta sa falls kahit na maulan :)
DeleteHi ask ko lang do you think ung rate nila sa vertical trek is 250 parin ? Plan namin pumunta doon this coming monday.. and paano direction papunta sa brgy. Tibatib ??? If galing kami manila my sasakyan.
ReplyDeletehello. last time na pumunta po kami same rate pa din po sila, and kung magtaas man siguro konti lang po. From manila, take a bus going to sta. cruz, laguna. may HM transit located sa cubao diretso sta. cruz laguna. pag nasa sta.cruz na po kayo, may may jeep na available going to cavinti na po :)
Deleteits so nice to experience it,,,,
ReplyDeleteyes, mas exciting at tiring! haha! come visit us here :)
Deleteyung po bang bayad sa mga bangkero round trip na yun o papunta lang?
ReplyDeletehello. hindi po thru bangkero ung way namin that time. sa pueblo el salvador po, may hiking at rappeling. isang bayad lang po sa entrance :)
DeleteHi! I plan to visit there this weekend. Is it fine if i get the permit from municipal office the same day i would like to visit? Wala kasing contact numbers po e.
ReplyDeletehello. sorry sa late reply. medyo busy lang po. pwede naman po walk in. once you have the permit at nabayaran ung fees, you will be provided with the gears and go na! enjoy :)
DeleteAng galing nito sir! Salamat sa share!
ReplyDeletethanks! visit nyo kami dito sir! :)
Deletesafe ba ito sa mga bata atleast 2yrs old? gsto nmin pumunta dito kaso may kasama kaming bata...
ReplyDeletenaku hindi ko po maaadvise na magsama kayo ng bata. may rapel at ung hagdan pababa kasi minsan medyo madulas. ingat kayo :)
DeleteHi ask qoh lang 250 pa din b entrance fee going to pagsanjan falls thru hiking and rapel?and pano po papunta dun kung galing ng batangas?
ReplyDeletehello, last time na check namin samie pa din po rate nila. hindi ko lang po sure kung ganon pa din ngayon. Im not familiar sa way from batangas pero kung may mga byahe from batangas to san pablo pwede din po. then from san pablo laguna to pagsanjan meron na din po :)
DeleteHi po! ask ko lang, yung bayad niyo ba sa entrance fee ng park kasama na dun yung pagsakay sa raft papunta mismo dun sa cave sa likod ng falls? or yung entrance at gears lang talaga? If ever, how much ang ibabayad pag lalapit sa falls?
ReplyDeletehello. kumpleto na po un dun sa payment. kasama na ung pagikot sa falls and kung gusto nyo pa magstay dun :)
Deleteposible po bang gawin ang pagsanjan at yung cavinti underground in a day? salamat po!
ReplyDeletepossible naman po. unahin nyo po ung pagsanjan falls kasi nakakapagod na ung papunta sa cave. makipagcoordinate po muna kayo regarding sa underground river kung open to public sila.
DeleteHi po. Magkocunduct po sana kami ng survey sa mga Bangkeros sa pagsanjan falls for our thesis. Tanong ko lng po sana kung may kailangan pa po kaming kausapin na head for permission to conduct a survey? or kailangan pa po ba naming gumawa ng letter? thank you po.
ReplyDeletehi! open to public naman po ang pagsanjan falls, pwede po kayo magwalk-in. mas maganda siguro kung magdala na din kayo ng letter pagdating nyo dun kasi pag dito kayo sa El pueblo dumaan hindi nyo kailangan ng bangkero. ibang route kasi ung sa bangkero. Pag bangkero talaga ang sadya nyo, sa pagsanjan Tourism office mismo kayo didiretso. enjoy!
Deletethank you po. :) ok lng po ba if saturday kami pupunta? if close po tourism office, san pa po kami pweding mkipag usap na payagan po kami mg survey sa mga bangkeros?
Deleteopen naman po sila pag saturday. mostly weekends naman din ang pasyal ng tourists :)
Deletehi :) ask ko lng po sana if dun sa Publo El Salvador Nature Park and Picnic Grove ung entance fee dun kasama na po ba dun ung tour sa falls? o separate ung sa boating? thanks :)
ReplyDeletesorry for the late reply. once nagbayad po kayo ng entrance sa Pueblo, included na po dun ung tour sa falls. About sa boating, wala po boatride pag sa Pueblo dumaan :)
DeleteAsk lang po if possible ka pa din makapunta dun sa falls kahit hindi ka na sumakay ng boat..
ReplyDeletesorry for the late reply. Dito po sa El Pueblo via trekking po ang way, hindi po kayo sasakay ng boat :)
DeleteThank you
