Chasing Waterfalls: Kilangin falls and Pagsanjan falls

Hello huguteros and huguteras! Kung sawang sawa na ang mga kaibigan nyo sa kwento mo ng ex mo na niloko, sinaktan, ginago at iniwan ka, give yourself some time to chill and connect with nature.

Kung yung ilang oras na byahe na ginagawa mo dati makita lang sya eh nagawa mo, I'm sure kayang kaya mong gawin to.

Kilangin Falls, also known as Bukal falls or Majayjay Falls is one of my favorite spots here in Laguna. Aside from being budget friendly, madali lang din tong puntahan.

Its my second time to visit this place and I'm sure as hell it won't be the last. Wala lang akong picture nung una kong punta dahil pinasok ng tubig ang "waterproof" Xperia Z3 phone ko. Nakakabadtrip lang. Tulad ng pag pasok ng third party na sumira sa relasyon namin ng ex ko. Tengene.

You can rent/ride a horse (na kamuka ng pinagpalit ng ex mo sayo) for P100 pesos or walk for about 30 minutes. You can visit this place anytime of the year as long as hindi maulan as the trail can get too muddy and slippery. Please take the warning signs seriously. Wag ng pa-bibo sa mga kasama. Pag ikaw naaksidente pagtatawanan ka lang. Tulad ng pagtawa ng bagong partner ng ex mo sayo.

We stayed there for about 2 hours and headed back to the registration area where we ha a drinking sesh with the Barangay officials. Sobrang bait nilang lahat. One of them, Kuya Raffy, told us we can stay at their place for free. He also offered a side trip to Pueblo el Salvador the next day. We gave him 500 pesos each para sa trike and entrance fee. Not bad considering the distance between Kilangin falls and Cavinti.

We headed to Pueblo el Salvador the next day and challenged ourselves with their basagan ng tuhod trail to get to Pagsanjan Falls. I must say, sa 27 years kong pagtira sa Laguna, ngayon lang ako nakapunta ng Pagsanjan Falls. Entrance fee costs 270pesos. That includes your guide. Getting to Pagsanjan falls was physically challenging lalo na yung 580 steps. Basagan ng tuhod. Kaya mo naman yun. Puso mo nga na binasag ng tarantado mong ex nakaya mo, eto pa kaya?

After about 30 mins of walking, rapelling and konting pahinga, we finally reached Pagsanjan Falls. The water may not be clear dahil tag-ulan na but it is still majestic. We stayed for about an hour and kuya Raf dropped us to the jeepney terminal bound to Sta. Cruz where another terminal going to Sta. Rosa, Laguna is located.
