Choosing Trekking or Boat ride, Pagsanjan falls tour

The magnificent falls is reached the usual way by boat ride from Pagsanjan known as Shooting the Rapids. Boatmen skillfully manueveres the canoe along rocky river and strong current.



An option available to save a little cost from the boatride is by trekking and some rappeling through Cavinti.

Trekking is about an hour or so depending on one's pace. The trail is surrounded by virgin forest. Tall trees and various plants abound. Sound of birds chirping, bugs and insects echoing their tunes, rain drops and wind sweeping through the leaves.

The road can be muddy when wet, some rooted trails, and concrete steps with safety railings are all along the way.



The starting point is where the view of the river and the forest meets.

There's 586 steps down, and 2 sets of 90 degree steep vertical metal ladder and 2 enclosed spiral way to the bottom to make you think twice if you want to proceed. But the idea is a challenge to beat.



Once you reach the river, colorful canoe boats, rocky cliffs and the falls awaits.



Finally, the adventure of boarding the bamboo raft taking us directly below the waterfalls. There goes a strong nature massage. And the mystery of goin inside Devil's Cave which turned out fun and not scarry.



Some of us took the boat back, and I'd say it's more fun than rafting in CDO. The boat ride is a thrill worth spending.
