Attempt to scale the seven tiers of Bugtong-Bato Falls.

 

Further inland from the Tibiao River, about an hour’s trek the seven tiers past terraced rice paddies and suspension bridges, brings visitors to the first of seven waterfalls that comprise the Bugtong-Bato Falls.

Getting past each tier is easily a test of outdoor skill, since one needs to climb up almost-vertical slopes to get to the second tier and then the third, which has an inviting natural pool. Most travelers stay only up to this point.
