Dunsulan Falls is located in Limay, Bataan, Philippines.  An enchanting spectacle in the heart of a forested hill behind the famous Mt. Samat in Pilar. Ideal site for picnic and swimming.

 Dunsulan falls is located at Brgy. Liyang, Pilar Bataan. To get there, if you’re from Pampanga – Manila and will just ride the bus trip to Balanga City, ending the bus stop at the Bataan Terminal, look for Bagac or Pantingan jeepney trip or Morong bus trip which will both pass the way to Barangay Liyang which comes after the way to Mt. Samat in Brgy. Diwa. One thing more, if you have your own car going there, you cannot completely enter Dunsulan. You need to walk a bit to get there.

Dunsulan is open to public without any charge or fees to pay, you can also swim if you want but there are no available cottages at the moment because it is still developing. You can just rest underneath the trees. Other sites we can suggest that you can visit near Dunsulan is Mt. Samat which is also in Pilar Bataan.  Read More:   mybataan.com

The first thing that will be noticed is the eye-catching rock mountain called the San Miguel Peak. It has a height of 700 foot (213 meters) above sea level and is a popular site for rock climbers wanting a rappelling adventure. A trail was built to those who want to reach its summit. Even the local children are offering visitors to be their guide. We weren’t unable to climb because of limited time (remember, this is just a stopover) but it’s enough that we saw its beauty.

On the other side, there large pieces of rocks scattered around the site. According to the locals, they are debris made by the Japanese invaders who blasted the site to hide their treasure. Remnants of the tubes buried beneath the mountain can still be seen.  Read More:  http://www.tupanggala.com/sisiman/

Mt. Natib in Orani, Bataan is another favorite climb in Bataan, along with Tarak Ridge in Mariveles. It is close enough to Manila, but at the same thing offers a challenging overnight climb. Closed for more than a year due to insurgency-related problems, it is fast becoming rediscovered by mountaineers, and in the 2008 climbing season, several successful climbs have been reported.

Transportation. Bataan Transit and Genesis Lines, with terminals facing each other in Doroteo Jose (near LRT station), ply the route. You will drop off at the National Highway and walk your way to the Orani Public Market; and going back, it’s the other way around; go to the highway and wait for passing buses to take you back to Manila. Fares cost around P150, one-way. – pinoymountaineer.com
