The Philippines is an archipelago surrounded by numerous bodies of water, 
to see a special feature you have never seen elsewhere in the country.
One such place is the Laswitan Falls and Lagoon, located in Cortes, Surigao City,
Surigao del Sur.
This waterfall is so unique that it receives a huge number of tourists from nearby towns
This waterfall is so unique that it receives a huge number of tourists from nearby towns
and from all over the country. I’m pretty sure you’d be joining the crowd once you read
about it, too.
Rock formations and lagoons...
The Laswitan Falls and Lagoon is actually a unique 20-foot rock formation located near
the shore in Cortes. This geological feature creates three NATURAL basins so that
when the surf becomes high, the huge waves would flow and spill into the main basin
on the other side, thus creating a waterfall effect.
The lagoon below the rock formation is so huge in that it can fit up
to 200 people – maybe even more! Tourists visiting the place can dip
in these pools and get themselves splashed by the sea water coming
from the other side. The lagoon has a deep part which swimmers can
enjoy but there is also a shallow area that other people can dip in.
Laswitan comes from the Visayan term, laswit, which means ‘sea water
pounding on the rocks’
How to Get to Laswitan:
From Surigao City, take a 4-hour ride in a south-bound bus going to
Tandag and drop off at Cortes. From Cortes town proper, go on a 15-minute ride
in a habal-habal to get to Laswitan.
Those coming in from Tandag will have to take a 1-hour ride on a north-bound bus
to Surigao City instead.
To get to Surigao City, flights are available via Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines.
You can also opt to go on a 7- to 8-hour ride to Tandag from Davao City.
