Siquijor's best known waterfall, a chain of turquoise pools and short cascades lined with rope swings.
Cambugahay Falls is the most famous waterfall on Siquijor, a set of tiered cascades in Lazi that spill into a chain of clear turquoise pools. Each drop is only a few metres, but the colour of the water and the jungle setting make it the island's signature stop. Wooden platforms and rope swings line the lower tiers, and a bamboo raft drifts across the main pool. It draws crowds by mid-morning, so the early hours are the quietest.
