Bugasok Falls

Bugasok Falls drops through the limestone hinterland behind Argao, on Cebu’s southeastern coast — a stretch of the province better known at sea level for its heritage church and its torta, the baked specialty that traders have carried out of Argao town for generations. The waterfall itself is a single-tier cascade, dropping into a deep turquoise pool boxed in by sheer limestone cliffs.

Reaching it means a hike through forest trail that a local guide navigates faster and more safely than a first-time visitor, especially after rain, when the rock turns slick.

• The limestone cliffs frame a single, powerful drop into a deep pool.
• The pool stays cool and deep enough for a proper swim, not just a wade.
• A local guide is worth hiring for the forest trail, which gets slippery after rain.
