I stumbled upon a blog post and saw the photo of Hulugan Falls. It captured me and I immediately fell in love. I have to be there, I want to go there, ASAP!
How to get there:
- From Sta. Cruz, Laguna, ride a jeepney going to Lucban/Lucena, Quezon and tell the conductor to drop you off at San Salvador (Hulugan Falls). Fare is Php 25.00.
- From the welcome arch of San Salvador, you will be approached by barangay staffs and they will assign a guide for you. (Guides are mandatory. As of the moment, there is no definite guide fee but please be considerate.) We are three in the group and we opted to pay Php 400.00 to our guide.
- We headed to the barangay captain's house to register and paid the corresponding amount of Php 10.00 as an entrance fee

Hello there! Love at first sight again.
After 45 minutes, we reached the falls. Who would have thought that in this small town of Luisiana lies a grand curtain falls.
The highest falls in the jurisdiction of Luisiana, Laguna with an approximate height of 70 meters.
And there is a rainbow! My first time to witness this, up close and personal.
After spending few hours at Hulugan Falls, we bid goodbye and headed to Talon ng Talay.

There are benches and tables made of bamboo where we stayed and took some rest.

Aliw Falls
A waterfalls with approximate height of 25 meters and width of 30 meters.
During our trek, we told our guide that we also want to visit Aliw Falls which is located at Barangay San Jose. We ascended from Talon ng Talay, log out at the barangay captain's house and went to Aliw Falls.
Our guide once said "Mahirap daw puntahan ang Talon ng Aliw pero MAAALIW ka naman pag nakita mo na." The path is easier and dry compare to Hulugan falls, except for the descending part which means that we are fast approaching to the falls.

Our guide told us that the barangay captain of San Jose (where Talon ng Aliw is located) plans to close the place on January 2016. Maybe they are planning to provide their own guide and collect registration fee just like what Hulugan Falls did.
