Description
Organized tours to Pagsanjan are available from travel agencies. Or, upon reaching the town, head straight for the Pagsanjan Lodge or the Pagsanjan Rapids Hotel where you can secure a banca (wooden boat) to take you to the famous gorge and falls. As you travel upstream, a natural wonderland of lush tropical vegetation unfolds before you; on the return trip your little boat shoots the rapids, skillfully maneuvered through rocks and boulders by experienced boatmen. The drive from Manila to Pagsanjan (100 kilometers) takes about two hours.
