HIDDEN WATERFALLS OF QUEZON PROVINCE: Maapon Falls

🌴 HIDDEN WATERFALLS OF QUEZON PROVINCE: Maapon Falls 🌴
✨Maapon Falls is a hidden gem of Quezon Province. It is located in the boundary of the towns of Sampaloc and Lucban. One will have to hike for an hour and a half from Lucban-Sampaloc Road to get to the falls. The trail is fairly unexplored and we had the falls all to ourselves when we got there. Unlike other places we’ve been to, the area is well-maintained, with clear water and without trash.
📍HOW TO GET THERE:
From Manila
1. Ride a bus from Metro Manila to Santa Cruz, Laguna (i.e. DLTB in LRT Taft-Buendia; travel time is 2 - 3 hours depending on traffic condition).
2. Transfer to a jeepney bound for Lucban, Quezon (travel time: 1.5 - 2 hours).
3. Charter a tricycle to Barangay Piis which serves as the jump-off.
4. Register and secure guide/s.

✏️ Tips/Reminders:
📌This waterfall is also known as Hangga or Asana Falls.
📌Bring food and drinks as there are no sari-sari stores in the area.
📌The trek takes about 1 - 2 hours depending on your pace but it may take longer if it’s muddy during rainy season.
📌Check the weather first. Expect rain during monsoon season (June-February). You won’t be allowed to get close to the waterfall if the current is too strong.
