Lulugayan Falls
A wide, stepped waterfall in Carigara on Samar, known as the 'mini Niagara', where you can swim in the pool beneath it.
Lulugayan Falls is about 30 m wide, with water cascading down multiple limestone steps into a broad white curtain. The pool below is suitable for swimming and bamboo rafting. The entrance is near Carigara town, with a stepped trail that takes about 10 minutes to descend. The entrance and environmental fee is a few dozen pesos. Nearby is the Langun-Gobingob Cave system, one of the largest cave systems in Asia, which requires a professional guide. The falls are about 2 hours from Tacloban. Hire a car, or take a van bound for Catbalogan, get off at Carigara and continue by tricycle.
