Going to this miniature falls is a nice side trip when going
to the Capones Islands.
It is about 200+ meters south of the river of Pundaquit.
As of travelogue time (2001), the falls is still "unfrequented"
by tourists. Only the locals and a few people who love to
go off the beaten path actually go to this falls. In fact,
the falls is seldom visited that the trail leading to it oftentimes
gets covered with overgrown foliage and you have to blaze your
own trail to get there.
How to get there
From any of the resorts in Pundaquit, walk along the beach
southward towards the Pundaquit river. If your resort is too far
north of the river, you can take your vehicle and get back to the
main Pundaquit road and head southward until the road ends by the
river. From the river, it is only a short walk by the seashore
until you reach the end of the beach where there is a cliff and
a smaller river (or a big stream, you might say). This
small river comes from the falls, so, technically speaking, just follow
the river upstream for about a hundred meters and you will end up at the
foot of the falls. But remember, you may have to cut your own
trail or walk along the shallow portions of the stream to get there.
As you explore the falls, it gets more interesting as you climb
from cascade to cascade.
Tips
This falls is worth going to only during the wet season (or a little
after the wet season) when there is plenty of fresh flowing water filling
up the numerous "tubs" along the stream.
Too little flowing water during the dry seasons makes this falls nearly
stagnant, dirty and even stinky.
