A slender waterfall that drops about 70 m into a cool, deep pool surrounded by ferns, orchids and forest, on the slopes of Mount Timpoong. You can swim in the cold pool at the bottom.


It's a short walk from the car park, and a good stop combined with the Ardent Hot Springs, warm volcanic springs nearby that are best in the evening, and the Sto. Niño cold springs.
