Lugnason falls - why doesn't get many visitors?

I still don’t know why, but this is by far my FAVOURITE waterfall in Siquijor! It’s not the biggest, nor the most famous—but there’s something about it that makes it feel charming, peaceful, and just… special.

🕒 Best Time to Visit

Like most places in Siquijor, if you arrive between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM, you’ll have it mostly to yourself. But here’s the good news: Lugnason Falls is not super popular (I have no idea why 🤷‍♂️), so even if you show up later, it won’t be overcrowded!

💡 Pro tip: You can hit Cambugahay Falls first (to beat the crowds there) and then head straight to Lugnason for a more peaceful experience.

💦 What Can You Do at Lugnason Falls?

First, let me set your expectations—this is not the biggest or most breathtaking waterfall you’ve ever seen. But that’s exactly why I love it! It’s small, charming, and just perfect for a chill day in nature. 🏞️

As far as I know, we digital nomads always want to be off the beaten path. So here it is.

✅ Swim & Relax – The natural pools here are perfect for a dip. 🌊✅ Cliff Jumping – If you’re feeling adventurous, climb the rocks and jump from the top! 🤿✅ Swing (If You Dare) – There’s one swing, and it’s FREE! Unlike Cambugahay, where you pay 50 pesos per swing. BUT… it looks scary! I never had the courage to try it. When you see it, you’ll understand. 😅

💰 Entrance Fee & Extra Costs

🎟️ Entrance Fee: 50 pesos. That’s it.

🛵 Parking Fee: None!

🌿 Swing: FREE! Unlike Cambugahay Falls, no extra charge for unlimited fun.

Go early, and Lugnason Falls will always be empty

📍 How to Get to Lugnason Falls

🚗 By Scooter (20 min from San Juan) – Most of the road is paved, but the last 500 meters is off-road. If you’re not confident on a scooter, be careful—it’s not too bad, but you could risk falling. Think of it as a mini challenge to improve your riding skills.

Note: From our coworking space, it would take you probably 20min only.

🚕 By Tricycle (Easy & Safe, but Less Fun 😜) – If you don’t want to deal with off-road riding, you can hire a tricycle to take you there. Simple, safe… but not as adventurous!

Final Thoughts

If you love peaceful nature spots, a bit of adventure, and a chill waterfall vibe—Lugnason Falls is for you. Give it a shot, and let me know what you think! 😊🌿
