Nalalata Falls and Caves are located in Barangay Lugban, Bula, Camarines Sur. The falls has an impressive gush of water providing a cool mist and spray to the area. The falls has an approximate height of 60 feet. Water streams down to a pool basin that is good for swimming. The water is clean and cool. At both sides of the falls, there are two caves that can be explored. Read More: http://greedypeg.org/camarines-sur/Nalalata-Falls-and-Caves.html

A short and easy 15 minute hike took us to a basin of Nalalata Falls, a clear inviting shade of turquoise. I wanted to wade in the water right away. It’s a beautiful place for a picnic and a swim, albeit the lack of amenities which I actually prefer. For me, nature is best enjoyed as is or if developments must be done, there should be minimal impact to the environment.
We took turns going down from the falls. It felt nerve wrecking at the start, facing the waterfalls as you go down but then you get the hang of it and enjoy the rest of the way which only takes about 10 minutes or maybe even less. I didn’t have to wait that long for my turn. There were other positions that were more challenging than the usual, such as the Australian which involves facing the water.

Rappelling down the waterfall felt like a scene straight out of a video game. Lara Croft and Nathan Drake make it look too easy and they don’t even have ropes, I thought to myself as I scrambled to navigate the environmental puzzle. The scenery even looked reminiscent of CGI.
I grew up in Naga City, but our visit to Nalalata Falls in Bula, a neighboring town in the province of Camarines Sur, was the first time I’d even heard of it. But unlike our previous visits to Malabsay Falls in Mt. Isarog and the waterfall circuit in Pili with Naga Excursions, our visit to this particular waterfall promised to be more action-packed.
Our agenda for the day was waterfalls rappelling — descending down the rock face of the cascades using a rope — with Kaddlaggan Outdoor Adventure Tours, the pioneering outdoor group in Naga City. Kaddlaggan organizes different adventure packages, from island-hopping tours to Caramoan to hiking / canyoning adventures in remote destinations in Camarines Sur.
