Cambugahay Falls is one of the most favorite places in Siquijor. It is one of the many precious waterfalls in the Island wherein a large number of tourist enjoys its fascinating atmosphere. Even locals within the island, enjoy spending their time in the mystical waterfall together with their family and friends. The Falls can be reached via 135 steps going down. Cambugahay Falls is a 3-tiered waterfall. With crisp and clean warm water originating from natural springs. Water from the Cambugahay Falls flows down about three kilometers downstream making numerous wonderful swimming lagoons before it discharges into the Lazi Bay.
At the first level, you will see one feature of the place which was an improvised swing. The locals called it the “Tarzan swing” and you could use it for free. In that location, you will find some locals assisting people to do the swing, hence it won’t actually hurt if you give a few bucks to these guys for their endeavor. It was very enticing to swim, but then again, I came unprepared. The lowest tier is where most tourists swim. It’s the biggest and probably the deepest as well.
Cambugahay falls is lots of fun. Well organized with lots of local tour guides who will take it in turns to escort you down to the falls and assist you to have a great time. Whether you are there for sightseeing or wanting to swing like tarzan into the beautiful water, this is definitely a good place to spend an hour or so. Our tour guide was Jun, and we liked him so much we spent more time with him away from these falls and still speak to him at least once a week. I recommend getting to know your guides, asking them about their lives, asking them if they can show you any other cool places on the island. And tip them as generously as you can!
