Kalayaan Twin Falls


Kalayaan Twin Falls

A popular tourist spot in Kalayaan is the San Juan Twin Falls, also called Kalayaan Twin Falls. It is located at the foot of the mountain, on the eastern part of Barangay San Juan. It is called Twin Falls because on both sides of the forest clearing, the cool water cascades directly into two catch basins or mini pools.

 

Water from the catch basins cascade straight to the man-made pool. On one end of the pool is a grotto of Blessed Mary, with water cascading down from it. The caretaker said the locals believe that the falls has healing effects. Though they cannot say how this happened, the falls still attracts tourists and faith believers.

From Manila, you can take a bus going to Sta. Cruz. You can just get in to one of those Laguna-bound buses along EDSA or go to the HM Bus terminal in Cubao (near Victory). That's about 3 hours ride, depends on the traffic.

 

From the HM Bus terminal in Sta. Cruz, ride a jeepney going to Paete. Kalayaan is just about 20-30 minutes away from Sta. Cruz. Just tell the driver to drop you off along San Juan. San Juan is one of the Barangays of Kalayaan. Consider the church seen on the picture below as a landmark. The road going up to where the falls is, is near this church.

 

From the road in San Juan, look for a tricycle to take you to the falls, you'll get there in 5 minutes. You may walk (the road going up) if you want. Have fun!
