The Magnificent Taytay Falls in Laguna


 

 

TAYTAY FALLS

 

 

The Taytay waterfalls is perhaps the cleanest and clearest water. Indeed, the water is so clean that you could still see a one-peso coin if you drop it in the 10-feet pool! This waterfall is actually a series of seven waterfalls – you could scale your way up to reach the seventh waterfall, which has a beautiful and wide pool, even clearer than the pools below. Taytay Falls, also known as Imelda Falls, has become a popular local picnic destination due to the sheer clarity of the water, as well as the large campsite area nearby. Also, the very cold waters of the waterfalls are refreshing. But I repeat: very cold!

The exploration of the waterfalls system adds up to the adventure. In one waterfall, you have to use a vine to rappel your way down; you may also have to use all sorts of ‘maneuvers’ to go all the way up. Each part of the system has its distinct beauty, and since it is at the foot of Mt. Banahaw, the forest is also serene. – pinoymountaineer.com

Trekking to the water falls was easy. The path way is already cemented so it so easy to trek.

The water is so cold , it’s really freezing, vegetation is so rich too. It’s a safe place, civilian guards or staff are all over the place checking you guys out . We stayed there overnight and hopefully will comeback soon .
