Sagumata Falls — Attraction in Valencia

Hard to reach but worth to visit. Google Maps did not bring us there. You need to go to Guinoyuran, from there to Lourdes or follow the sign to Sagumata Falls. Ignore Google Maps! In Lourdes you need to turn right, there's also a Sign Sagumata Falls! Attention! From here it is more rough than a rough road. You need a Bike, hike, ask one person in Lourdes with a motorbike to bring you there. If you are not familiar with Offroad, you should not use a ordinary Bike or Scooter to go there. We use a 4x4 Pickup with a huge ground clearance, and we need it up to the last 3 cm to go all the way. There is no other Sign, just follow the... "road" and trust your intuition. There is not so much traffic, but be aware of another Car from front, so keep every chance for backing in your memory.

You can swim here, you can enter and leave the water, but you should be aware you need to be a little bit fit. I am very overweight, i was not brave enough to enter the water. But there is another, smaller "pool" behind the big bricks, easy to enter and more safe to...

Beautiful waterfall. Water is cold but refreshing. Entrance fee is just 20 pesos per person. A motorcycle from Valencia City is quite expensive. Many scams in that area. They charged 700 pesos for two people to go...

Beautiful scenery of nature. Very cold spring water. It's so relaxing. You can bring your food and eat there. The place was so far from the city but it was worth the travel. Overlooking view...
