Back in 2016, I ventured to Tuasan Falls in Camiguin, Philippines and was captivated by its serene ambiance and the invigorating splash of its cool waters. Nestled amidst lush greenery in Catarman, this waterfall remains a favorite for both locals and travelers seeking a tranquil retreat.



What to Expect

Tuasan Falls boasts a single, powerful cascade plunging into a clear, natural pool, surrounded by verdant foliage and rugged rock formations. The area is well-maintained, with pathways and viewing platforms that allow you to soak in the breathtaking views from different angles.


The falls are easily accessible, requiring no strenuous trek, making it ideal for visitors of all ages.
