If you like chasing waterfalls like me lol, then I highly recommend you check out
Buntot Palos Falls.
It's located in the town of Pangil in Laguna, approximately 2-3 hours from Manila.
We arrived at 10am, a bit late already since the hike to the falls takes 2 hours.
Another falls you could also see which is beside Buntot Palos is Ambon Falls, our guide said it's smaller than Buntot Palos but takes lesser time to reach.
Time to trek!
I must admit, we weren't completely prepared for this trail.
I was expecting walking on flat ground for two hours rather than doing some mountain climbing!!!
Lo and behold, the usual two hours took 4 hours in our case ~3 women living a semi-sedentary lifestyle. Goodluck!
So whoever plans on going to Buntot Palos, pls pls pls...think twice or thrice if it's ok with you to do extreme mountain climbing/hiking for 2 hours to reach the falls LOL
There are 4 stations/stopovers for the trail.
Sorry forgot to take a pic of the first one hehe.
This is why station 2 is named as such =P
This cute doggie guided us the whole time by the way! such a fit dog. #jealousmuch haha
Overlooking view of Laguna
I think by this time, I already lost 10kg from sweating profusely hahaha
Ahhh, station 3 is my fave.
We ate lunch and drank fresh buko juice here ~perfect thirst quencher!
This is also the area where tourists can camp if they decide to stay overnight.
It's not allowed to camp at the falls due to safety reasons.
Finally, a sign of hope lol
and there it is....

The water coming out from that tube is fresh spring water! WOW
Our guide said some tourists would even bring back gallons of that and the poor guide have no choice but to carry it OMG #crueltymuch??!!lol
closer look
one with nature!
