Waterfalls in Zamboanga Peninsula
The Zamboanga Peninsula covers the western tip of Mindanao, including Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay. Our coverage includes Merloquet and Dulian falls around Zamboanga City. The peninsula is known for its Spanish-era heritage, vinta sails, seafood and coastal scenery, and it is one of the quieter corners of Mindanao for waterfall trips. Zamboanga City is the main gateway, with flights and ferries linking the peninsula to Manila, Cebu and the Sulu archipelago. Roads are generally good on the main routes, but the final access to the forest falls can be rough after rain. The dry season is the most reliable window for trails, and local guides help with the final access.
