A remote two-tier giant in the Rogongon highlands, one of the tallest waterfalls in the country.
Limunsudan Falls drops roughly 265 m in two main tiers through a forested gorge in Barangay Rogongon. It is often listed as the second-highest waterfall in the country, after Aliwagwag, though the ranking depends on how the drops are measured and has not been officially surveyed. Access is by a long, rough road and a guided hike, so it sees far fewer visitors than Maria Cristina or Tinago.
