Busay Falls (Malilipot)
Busay Falls
A multi-tier waterfall on the northeastern slope of Mayon Volcano, with about a dozen levels. The lowest pool is safe for swimming.
Busay Falls is fed by mountain springs from Mayon Volcano. It has multiple tiers of waterfalls and pools, with the first level reachable in a 10-minute walk, and the trail gets steeper the higher you climb. Locals come here for swimming and picnics on weekends, but it's quieter on weekdays. It takes about 40 minutes' drive from Legazpi to Malilipot town, followed by a stretch on a mountain road. The paths are slippery, so watch your footing in the water, and do not swim during the rainy season if heavy rain has fallen upstream.
