Pagsanjan Falls. The trek towards Pagsanjan Falls equals the excitement of seeing this natural wonder itself. It is a popular destination about 100 km SE of Manila. To get to the beautiful falls, you have to ride a banca (dugout canoe) and be paddled upstream by skilled and strong boatmen. Lush greenery and towering cliffs decorate the river as your boatmen strain to get you upstream. Once at the falls, you can ride a bamboo raft that will take you underneath the falls and experience the force of water falling 75 feet.
