A secluded jungle waterfall near Lazi with a deep turquoise pool and a free rope swing.
Locong Falls is a small, quiet waterfall on the Cangclaran and Kinamandagan boundary in Lazi, on the southeast side of Siquijor. Cold water spills over a rock ledge into a deep turquoise pool ringed by jungle, with a rope swing and a ledge used for jumping. It shares a river with Kawasan Falls about 500 metres away as the crow flies and draws far fewer visitors than the nearby Cambugahay Falls, which makes it a calm place to swim.
