What to explore at Can-umantad Falls?
Going to see the falls itself necessitates a trek along a trail with scenic views of the surrounding area and from hills one can see neighboring islands across short distances of sea. One need also to cross the Can-umantad River, another location where one can witness nature's grandeur with its clear, cold spring water and lush greenery.
After the trek, the Can-umantad Falls finally comes into view. It is a splendid example of the force of nature in action, with cold streaming spring water gushing down the three-tiered rock base, with the accompanying mist and splashes as the water makes its way down to the pool below. On the background one can glimpse weathered rock formations and ferns and shrubs of many varieties, making one feel as if they are truly at the heart of nature.

Reviews
The directions posted by a previous visitor are quite correct. Just keep asking as you go along and the locals will keep you on the right path. We ended up not taking the paved road down to the falls but saw a sign on the opposite side of the river and wandered through the rice terraces until we meet some local boys who offered to guide us. Ends up we took the shortcut which was a steep path down the mountain. Quite difficult to maneuver for us, though the boys had no trouble at all. All the efforts were so worth it....the falls are so beautiful, and the walk through the rice fields was beyond words. If you enjoy hiking adventures, don't miss out on this amazing trip!
Nature at its best! The trail going to the site is not for the faint-hearted. It's rough and at some point becomes steep. Adding to the struggle is the sun's heat. Truly for adventure junkies.
