Twin Falls of Kalayaan


A nice getaway hidden in the heart of Sierra Madre range in Laguna. Kalayaan Twin Falls offers a pristine, fresh water and calm commune with nature. The Pinoy Solo Hiker just learned about the said falls from a fellow traveler whom he met in Bataan, so he decided to visit the place.

There are 5 falls located in the "Twin Falls of Kalayaan" but the twin falls are the two distinct falls. In order to reach the twin falls one would need to do a short trek with a minimal ascent which will pass through a forested area. After a 10 minutes trek, one will reach the first of the two waterfalls - it is a medium-sized falls that fed into a small but deep catch basin with smaller cascades that meandered through a large rocks scattered all over the stream bed. Some huge boulders stranded along the stream gave an indication of past floods that have sculptured the landscape of the place.

The resort is managed by the local barangay office of San, Juan, Kalayaan and a fee of 30 pesos is collected as an environmental fee.
