Utod Falls
About
Cavite's turquoise secret! Utod Falls is a tall, slim waterfall dropping into a bright blue-green pool, hidden in the hills of Magallanes. A short walk from the riverside community gets you there, and on weekdays it can feel like your own private swimming hole. Bring snacks, rent a cottage from the locals if you are a big group, and spend a lazy afternoon in the cool water. A private car or motorbike is the easy way in!
Dry until sunset (5:35 PM). Good time to go!
