Cambugahay Falls
Siquijor's most famous three-tier limestone waterfall, with turquoise pools where you can swing on a rope and jump in. It is a must-see on the island.
Cambugahay Falls lies in Lazi, on the southeast of the island. Spring water runs down limestone to form three tiers of waterfalls and pools with clear turquoise water. From the car park, walk down about 130 steps to the falls. At the top pool, local people have hung vines for swinging. You can swing out like Tarzan and drop into the water (a tip is expected, and a local guide can take photos for you), or ride a bamboo raft that is pushed under the falls. Entry costs tens of pesos, and parking is charged separately (confirm on site). Before 9 a.m. there are few visitors. After tour groups arrive around noon, it gets crowded. From San Juan resort area it is a 30 to 40 minute motorbike ride, and you can combine it with the nearby century-old banyan tree and Lazi Church for a half-day loop. Note: the stone surface is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. Check the water depth before jumping, and if you cannot swim, rent a life jacket. Keep valuables in the storage area or with someone watching them.
