Panas Ingan
Waterfalls
A friend of ours told us of a waterfall about a 1/2 mile north of Hinunangan in the barangay Ingan. After driving up a one lane mountain road (almost a 4 wheel drive road) we were greeted by the sounds of a waterfall. Along with the waterfalls is a lily pad pond and three sheds for picnicking
The river above the falls is rocky,
with a pool below the falls that is deep enough to swim in. Below
the pool is more rocky river.
The falls themselves are not big, but
the water goes through them fast. There is a spot that is like a
waterslide. JJ had a good time going through the slide, but had to
have a person there to help him. The current is strong and the water
is over 6' deep. There are 2 big submerged rocks in the channel that
would hurt if you slammed into them.
Once you get out of the current you can
swim in the pool. The water is clear and cool.
We enjoyed a picnic lunch and JJ had a
great time.
There is a caretaker that lives nearby,
he will come down and collect a user fee. Fifty pesos (about $1) per
vehicle or group, plus another 150 pesos (about $3) for the use of a
shed.
It was a very enjoyable outing and we
did not have to travel very far to see it.
Thank you for following the blog.
