Pagsanjan, the tourist capital of the province of Laguna
One of the premiere world-class tourist destinations in the Philippines, is gifted with natural
wonders and scenic views. It is inarguably famous for its rapids. These aesthetic features of
the town attract tourists for whom man-made and initiated tourism support
accommodations, facilities and services are focused.
The main attraction of the town is its natural wonders-the stark natural beauty of the
Pagsanjan River, the awe-inspiring gorge, the breathtaking roaring rapids, and the
spectacular world-famous water falls, the "Pagsanjan Falls".
Actually, the real name of the majestic waterfalls is "Magdapio Falls" located at the next
town, Cavinti. However, the falls has been popularly known as "Pagsanjan Falls" because
the trip to the waterfalls, reffered to as "shooting the rapids", starts in Pagsanjan, passes
through part of Lumban, then Cavinti.
It begins beningly enough in the still headwaters of the river, then rapidly churning to make it
the ride of your life. You will enjoy the thrill and adventure of shooting the rapids which is
the boatride experience of a lifetime.
On the way to the magnificent waterfalls, one may feel the relaxing atmosphere and beauty
brought by the experience of harmony with nature. While entering the tropical gorge, one
will see wild orchids, ferns, vines, spiders, dragonflies, lizards on the rocks, chattering
monkeys and the beautiful sun rays passing through the trees, touching peaceful water and
high above are the multi-colored birds flirting in te bushes.
It is a must for people visiting Pagsanjan. Two to three tourist passengers are treated to a
thrilling river ride on board a "banca" or canoe expertly paddled and bodily lifted upstream
against the strong current through an amazingly pristine panorama of primeval forest. It is
then maneuvered downstream between the picturesque canyon walls, and through the
rapids, rocks and roaring current at breathtaking speed by two seasoned and skilled
"bangkeros" or boatmen. The pair of tourist passengers should synchronize their positions to
maintain balance.
With the dexterity and skill of boatmen who have spent their whole life on the river, a
navigator and a pilot will safely guide your "banca" on an exciting two-hour journey. At
times, you will be skimming through the gorge with walls of rock mass formations and vines
that rise up over a hundred meters. There will also be times when you will be tossed and
twisted through the rapids as you speed downstream to the two towering waterfalls.
Depending on the water height, there are a total of 12 to 16 rapids altogether. Upon
reaching the last major waterfalls, you can transfer from the banca to a bamboo raft that will
take you through the cascading water to a hidden cave (which looks like the profile of a
devil) formed by the walls of the gorge.
It is an exhilarating, spine-tingling, andrenaline-pumping, two-hour boat ride from the
Bumbungan River to the "Pagsanjan Falls", whose booming water cascades down the
300-feet cliff in full view. The falling waters fill the place with thunderous sound. Traveling
along the watercourse and shooting the 16 roaring rapids is definitely one big heart and
nerve-breaking adventure.
