Taytay falls — Attraction in Majayjay

The place would have been a haven for nature lovers but it turned out a disappointment. No signages around, we relied on Waze to find it. Upon arrival, there is a registration table that will ask you to register at least one name and pay up P50 entrance fee per person. Then when you get to the parking place, people are busy getting the P100 parking fee. Nothing is given in return as proof. Still no signages, we had to ask where is the way to the falls. There is a “gate” in the corner of the mini market and stores in the area. There they will get the stub you were given for the entrance fee. The trek to the falls is a bit long, more of like a kilometer walk but it was a cemented trail so it made the trip easier. The only thing we noticed was that certain portions of the track is prone to landslides and it is evident with soul erosion present. When we got to the place, it was jampacked. You pick the spot good enough for you. Everyone is everywhere, eating, drinking and even washing their used oliy plates in the water when people farther down the running river swim unknowingly. They bring with them chips and alcohol but were very disrespectful of rules. They leave their trash where they were. One was even literally taking a bath - using soap in the water. We only stayed for a couple of hours and left. No one told you to travel light, the trek is not fun with big bags in tow. Don’t expect a decent bath after, the comfort rooms and shower areas are either closed or very dirty. No safety measures around, ropes for easy access as the boulders were slippery with moss. Honestly, the DENR. signage that says it protects the place is but a mere scam. Too bad I didn’t take pictures. The pile of empty mineral water bottles completely tell a very sad story. I’m not saying don’t go, the beauty of the falls is still there but as sure as we were standing there we know it’ll be...

Firstly this is not for everyone especially if you have difficulty walking. Entrance fee is only ₱20 per person parking fee ₱50 and you will be offered a camping tent for ₱400 which I suggest you avail as there is no place to set down your things. Getting to Majayjay falls itself involves a steep walk down a narrow stone stairs from the parking lot then a very long walk to the camping grounds. The camping grounds it self is scattered and most of the time is uneven, but local people will set up the tent for you and they happen to know where the flat surfaces are, at the time when we visited this place there were no camping tables so we had to settle for the tent were we kept all of our back packs and equipment to keep them dry. There is a common grilling station and they also allow makeshift grills by the tents if the common grilling station if far from your tent. We managed to get a tent spot near the falls itself which is a convenience and we grill all our food next to our tent using 3 rocks and a small screen fecing left by previous visitors. Overall reviews of this place about how refreshing and peaceful this place is is 100 percent true. Very clean clear cold waters from mount banahaw will take all your stresses away. There is concrete path leading to the falls itself however the camping grounds are very uneven with some rocks covered with moss and algea hence very slippery. Overall very worth the trip and this place is 10/10 for me...

you want detail review? very well.... first the place is SO FAR from the main terminal so if you are going there by foot and just using public transportation at least go there before 5pm strikes the clock because there are time trips for public transpo like from sta cruz-majayjay &vice versa: 7am-9am and the next trip will be 4pm-5pm. so i sigguest suggest to go there VERY early in the morning to enjoy and have enough time to have fun at the falls. there are rooms and tent to be rented if you want to stay overnight, the room starts at 800pesos and the tent is about 250pesos. the locals are quite friendly BUT not all of them are because there are some locals like the man at thr brgy hall is very sarcastic and very annoying as well as the man in the terminal. well if you only be going there for the falls and to appreciate nature i recommend this falls and it is better to go there with you OWN car. the environmental fee is 20pesos and 30pesos if overnight. the fare price is not constant especially in trycicle because they take advantage of tourists that doesnt know the place and they make them pay high fare than the standard, because i repeat the locals are NOT that honest and NOT that friendly also . not ALL but there are some you will encounter. but hey, at least the falls is...
