PUNDAQUIT WATERFALLS

After exploring Anawangin  or Nagsasa Cove and hiking the lighthouse of Capones Island, you can still make a sidetrip at Pundaquit Falls.  The falls is just 200 meters or 10 minutes walk from the jump off point going to Anawangin in Pundaquit. 

The best time to get here is only during wet seasons or maybe after the rainy time of the year.  The falls can be very stinky when you visit here during the dry seasons because some parts are stagnant and yes, dirty.  Read More:  http://bantogbackpackers.blogspot.com/2014/04/pundaquit-falls-san-antonio-zambales.html

Pundaquit Falls has a nice plunge pool or tub where you can jump in and swim. Its depth is seven to eight feet during the rainy season when water torrent is strong coming from its source. It’s an easy trek, around 10 minutes from the beach. There are small water curtains coming from the tub, cascading down, giving a nice backdrop when taking pictures. These waterfalls in Zambales will be a great side trip when visiting Pundaquit!   Read More: https://playintourist.blogspot.com/2017/05/guide-pundaquit-waterfalls.html

This is how you reach the falls: Go south of the beach (towards the cliff/ mountain), a little past the river after Sir William’s Cottage. Go inside the small eskinita (a narrow street/alley) near thesari-sari store.  When you reach a fork, turn right and just keep walking. You should be able to reach the foot of the falls within five minutes.
While clean, fresh water flowed from the highest point of the falls, the water in the smaller catch basins/ tubs below were murky, mossy and a bit smelly this time of the year. One must climb up steep and slippery rocks 15- 20 feet high to reach the topmost part of the falls, so I simply waited at the bottom as Jigs explored his way to the top.
To date, this hidden waterfalls, despite its proximity to Pundaquit beach, is still (surprisingly) unfrequented by tourists. Only the locals and a few people who like treading the off-beat path visit the place.   Read More:  https://www.filipinaexplorer.com/2011/12/babymooning-in-zambales-pundaquit-falls.html
