A popular day trip when the surf is flat, Tangadan falls flows over pancake rock formations into a refreshing blue pool. To get there, take a tricycle from San Juan to the trailhead (P500). You're required to hire a guide at the entrance (P150) and pay a P30 environmental fee. It's about an hour's hike to the falls.
