Pamuayan Falls

10° 25.0′ N · 119° 12.1′ E

A jungle waterfall and swimming pool about 3.5 km from the north end of Port Barton beach, reached on a trail through forest and farmland: a cool freshwater swim after days of salt.

Practical

Wikivoyage: path from the north end of the beach, about 3.5 km each way, overgrown in places so local help may be needed, and leeches in standing water. OpenStreetMap maps a registration booth on the way (10.42203, 119.19862), so expect a small entry fee (verify locally). Go in the morning; carry water and repellent.

Freshwater swim on a half-day jungle walk
