3. FALL IN LOVE WITH PAGSANJAN FALLS

The sound of the falls resembles a series of thunder strikes violently piercing the atmosphere and forming a natural static in your ear. Be sure to change into your swimming gear before you ride the balsa (wooden raft) towards the Devil’s Cave behind the falls. More important, be prepared to scream at the top of your lungs as the cold water comes at you from above. Imagine a high-pressure hose pointed at you, only bigger.
