MALABUYOC FALLS

The town boasts of natural wonders unlike those in other towns…. the hot springs and waterfalls in Mainit are very popular tourist attractions.

The Montaneza Falls in Mainit attracts adventure and thrill-seekers. The river threads into a narrow ravine with huge boulders and flanked by limestone cliffs and dense vegetation. The three sets of waterfalls is perfect for rapelling, jumping and climbing. The cool, refreshing pools at the base of each waterfall are great for swimming. The Mainit Hot Springs where one starts their hike up the waterfalls is known to heal and sooth the weary adventurer.

Looc Falls on the other hand still remains unspoiled and a hidden jewel of Malabuyoc. A trail bordered by overgrown shrubs and trees leads to the Looc River where one passes through limestone walls flanking a good portion of the river, up a treacherous mountain trail and after an arduous hike you are greeted by the magnificent, captivating beauty of Looc Waterfalls surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and huge boulders.
