Bohol's tallest waterfall, a 60-metre cascade pouring beneath the Cadapdapan rice terraces.
Can-umantad Falls is the tallest waterfall in Bohol, a roughly 60-metre drop named from can-uman, the Visayan word for sixty. It is fed by the Cadapdapan River and pours over ancient sedimentary rock into a series of turquoise pools, one of which is shallow enough to stand in while the others are deep. A paved walk leads down from the parking area, and the falls sit in the same upland area as the Cadapdapan Rice Terraces and Canawa Cold Spring, making a natural half-day circuit.
