Buntot Palos Falls (Itinerary and Guide)

As I've been saying in my Laguna posts, this province has a lot to offer. Today, I am bringing you to one of the majestic waterfalls of Laguna. Buntot Palos Falls, which others call "the hidden falls," is the grandest waterfall in Southern Luzon as it stands 80 meters with a high amount of water falling. Its name literally translates to "Eel's Tail" in English because, according to our guide, the trails to the falls a long, curvy, and slippery, similar to Eels's body or Palos in Filipino. Did you know that it has a hidden feature? It is a cave beneath the waterfalls, so passing through the water is needed.
