Pangyan Falls
About
Hot pools, cold falls, one trip! Pangyan starts with warm spring-fed pools by the entrance, then follows a cool stream up a shady gorge past wide cascades and boulders to a tall waterfall dropping into an enclosed basin. Scramble over the rocks or just swim your way up. It's a great freshwater break between the beaches of Mati and the hills of Maragusan!
