A bridal-veil cascade hidden in a forested canyon in Balilihan, with one of Bohol's biggest swimming pools.
Camugao Falls drops in a fine, bridal-veil curtain into a wide, deep pool at the bottom of a forested canyon in Balilihan. It is only about 30 to 40 minutes from Tagbilaran, but the last stretch is a steep trail through rice fields and jungle, so the setting stays quiet and green. The pool is big enough for proper swimming, with shallow corners that suit non-swimmers.
