Two and a half kilometers away from the town proper is a small road going to the northwestern barangays of Mayoyao. After a short ascent, the path along a gorge turned narrower. In about 25 minutes of moderately-paced walk, we reached Tenogtog Falls.

Tenogtog is an Ifugao word which means chopped. It was in this place where hunters chopped their game and share it to others who unfortunately had none that day.

Tenogtog is a segmented waterfall that dynamically drops to a small basin. On that late afternoon of October 9, I saw themajestic Tenogtog. The drizzle and the afternoon overcast made Tenogtog a lot more beautiful and charming. The tradeoff however was that the mist and the small pool and viewing area made it harder for me to capture the fullness of its beauty and majesty.

Tenogtog Falls has 3 natural pools rising about 12 meters from each other and each pool cascades to the next in beautiful succession. It’s a great place to hike for a picnic, swimming and diving.
