A small, cool waterfall in Cavite's coffee country, handy for an easy day trip.
Balite Falls is a modest cascade in the hills of Amadeo, Cavite, known as the coffee capital of the Philippines. A shallow upper pool and a deeper main basin at its base suit both wading and a quick dip, and the surrounding resorts make it a convenient escape from Metro Manila. It is best treated as a relaxed stop rather than a dramatic destination.
