From Macolcol bridge, looking at the direction of Mt. Kimmalogong, at its base below its summit, you can see during heavy rains, a cascade of water. This is the Ang-halo Falls. It falls into a carved out area known as Lubong-Uneg (translated as “inner world” or more aptly “inner bowl”). Then there is Lubong downstream from it. It then opens up into the rice/farm fields of Karampoan. Therefore the foothill just below Mt. Kimmalogon.
During dry spells, the waterfall does not dry out. It just goes down as a trickle, but it still flows but no longer seen from the Macolcol bridge. There is a 20 ft deep swimming hole at the top of the falls, and the legendary “Tugot ni Ang-halo” or “Mark of Ang-halo”. Ang-halo is a legendary giant of an ancient time. The giant knelt down to take a drink of water above the waterfalls and left the imprint of his toes, knee, and hand in the bedrock. Read More: http://www.angelfire.com
The majestic Lubong Nangoloan Falls or Anghalo Falls Falls is situated in Barangay Feria San Felipe, Zambales. From Olongapo City, we spent an hour on a bus bound to Iba, Zambales. The fare was seventy-five pesos. We stopped at San Felipe Public Market where we took a tricycle at 7 Eleven going to Anghalo Falls. The driver dropped us on a road with three Agoo trees – the landmark where to start the trekking, we traveled for five minutes.
A hundred meters away we heard the roaring waterfalls that made the group so excited. We reached the place with amazement because of the beauty of the cascading waterfalls. For thirty minutes we rested and cooled down, regained our strength and took the plunge.
It was very good to swim in its clear and cold water that we spent our time until before sundown. A picnic can be done here because there’s a shade on the left bank of the river but be responsible not to litter the place.
The months of August to November are the best time for a visit because this waterfall is categorized as a streaming waterfall which means it dries up during summer. The pool is approximately eight feet deep during the rainy season. Read More: https://playintourist.blogspot.com/2014/05/anghalo-falls-san-narciso-zambales.html
