I super loved the trek even if it was so taxing. The chill, the scenery and the great company made up for it. It was a long way down to the waterfalls but it was so worth it. We were there November, so the weather is already colder than the usual. When we reached the waterfalls, the water dropping from... More

The long walk trekking to get to the falls was worth it. Even though it rained so hard on climbing up back. The falls was magnificent!

the falls were so-so but the 1.5 hour trek made up for it. walking along the rice terraces was just wow. way more beautiful up close. we also met a couple of young kids and other locals along the way. it can get pretty hot as most of the trek is open air. so suncreens, caps are a must. :)... More

the falls doesn't offer much since it can get pretty dry during summers. i have seen bigger and more amazing than this but what makes it worth the trip is the trek. you get amazing views of the rice terraces. the air is fresh and you get to interact with locals. my crocs broke when we went there so i...

This was almost like Tappiyah Falls of Ifugao,the trekking is easier though. It`s fun to take a dip in its cold chilly water after a few kilometers of walking.

I have been to Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur and Bomod-ok Falls fall short by comparison. So I was not too excited when I saw it. But it's the trekking down and back the Sagada Rice Terraces that makes you blow your horn and earn that damned shirt "I survived Sagada!"

A must see when you visit Sagada! We went there late in the afternoon. We were guided by two tour guides. We walked and trekked almost an hour through the rice terraces' paddies. We were told very strictly to stop first if we want to take pictures because it is dangerous to walk thru the paddies we might fall and... More

It was very easy going to the falls (given that it is not raining/slippery) But going back was torture (at least for someone like me with no exercise) Be sure to bring water or energy/hydrating drinks, and wear hiking shoes. Do a lot of stretching!
