Pagsanjan Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in the Philippines. The waterfall is actually known as Magdapio Falls, but popularly take the name Pagsanjan, which is the town in the province of Laguna where it is located. Pagsanjan Falls is at the confluence of two rivers, the Balanac and Bumbungan, just outside Pagsanjan. It has a drop of 120 m (393 ft).

A trip to the Pagsanjan Falls usually involves a boat trip through the gorge. The boats are called banca, and the boatmen, bangkeros. A change of clothes is necessary as a ride to the falls without actually enjoying its torrents is not regarded as complete.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
