About Pagsanjan
“Shoot the Rapids” on dugout canoes and experience nature’s wonder. A two and a half hours drive south of Metro Manila through the countryside takes you to Pagsanjan, Laguna. Be prepared to board a native banca (canoe) skillfully driven by two boatmen and maneuvered upstream through rocks and boulders amidst steep gorges and lush tropical vegetation. Your destination – the magnificent Pagsanjan Falls. Take a swim or board a bamboo raft through the falls into a cave right behind its veil of water. This is an exhilarating, spine-tingling, adrenaline-pumping, two hour boat ride from the Bumbungan River to the Pagsanjan Falls, whose booming water cascades down the 300 ft cliff below. Your ride downstream is an exciting rush through the same rocks and boulders you passed on your way upriver.
