Aliw Falls
About
A wide, roaring curtain of white water! Aliw Falls tumbles down a rocky ledge in a broad, multi-tiered cascade, and you can watch it from a wooden deck right at the plunge pool. The newer route through Pilgrim's Dream Ecofarm is a paved 20-minute walk, and the resort added turquoise pools right beside the falls. Come after a few rainy days for the biggest flow, then pair it with nearby Hulugan Falls!
