ALIW FALLS IN LUISIANA OF LAGUNA

Location: , San Salvador, Luisiana, Laguna, Philippines



Aliw Falls during summer


Aliw Falls during summer has less water. This was the time when I visited it. However, I haven't tried yet visited it during rainy season. Just the same, during my visit, its basin at the foot of the falls is not good swimming as it was murky or muddy.

The flat trail going to the falls


Still a part of the 20-minute trail to the falls


The 20-minute trek is simply consisting of very green trail and we had crossed and waded in two small streams. The banks of these streams are solid rocks but the flowing water is brown.

There is a swimming pool at the Dafi Resort near the water falls. Guest can stay overnight there. Our chartered van was parked here to pick us up for our next destination which was in Kamay ni Hesus in Lucban, Quezon province.

This deep holes are found when you trek up to the water falls


According to our guide, the top most of the water falls has less water during summer and what you will see are deep holes filled with water. When dip on it, the water was warm because it was around 4:00 in the afternoon.
