Zamboanga Peninsula
Waterfalls in Zamboanga del Sur
Zamboanga del Sur occupies the southern part of the Zamboanga Peninsula in western Mindanao, with Zamboanga City as the main gateway. Our coverage includes Merloquet Falls and Dulian Falls, both forested cascades in the city's eastern and northern barangays. The province is better known for its Spanish-era heritage, vinta sails and seafood than for waterfall tourism, so services are simpler and a local guide helps. Roads are generally good, but the final access can be rough after rain. The dry season is the most reliable window, and the falls are best visited early in the day.
