A 70 m single drop in the Luisiana hills, one of the tallest waterfalls in Laguna.
Hulugan Falls plunges about 70 m in a wide, powerful curtain into a mossy basin in Barangay San Salvador. The name comes from hulog, to fall. A short but steep trail leads down from the registration area, and the pool below is deep enough for swimming. It is a popular day trip from Manila and can be combined with Talay Falls and Hidden Falls.
