Located in the town of Luisiana in Laguna with an elevation of 1000 ft. above sea level, Hulugan Falls was recently opened to the public. It has a grand cascade similar to that of Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan City, it is truly a must visit for any nature lover and explorer.
Whereas all the other waterfalls that I have visited requires no more than fifteen minutes of trek, Hulugan Falls requires level 3 climb and takes 1 to 1.5 hours to reach. The almost 2-hour trek of about 600 ft. descent from the jump-off point must not daunt the would-be explorer, as Hulugan Falls is really grand and marvelous. The cascade of water is approximately 270 feet of drop, it further descends to form a catchbasin that is big and deep, perfect for swimmers, the rocks are very slippery though. Beneath the falls, there is a nearby cave, similar to that of Buruwisan Falls. The trail to Hulugan Falls can get really muddy in the rainy season, much like the trails going to Mt. Romelo and it really made my trekked slower.

1. Ride a bus bound to Sta.Cruz, Laguna (tell the conductor to drop you off in Lucban jeep terminal located in Pagsawitan)
2. Ride a jeepney bound for Lucban, tell the driver to drop you off in Brgy. San Salvador.
The first informative write up that I've read about Hulugan Falls. Great Job.
