BANGON FALLS || TINAPLACAN CALBAYOG CITY | JHING PAGAURA

This can be considered as the crown jewel of Calbayog wonders. Located at Barangay Tinaplacan, to the north of Calbayog, it is one of the most beautiful and spectacular scenic spots worth visiting in this area. From Calbayog City, it is about an hour-and-15-minute ride to Barangay Tinaplacan, then it is about another 45-minute walk to the vicinity of the falls…and it is definitely worth the effort.  This ascending route up river will culminate in reaching the main falls, which features a large, circular pool about 30 meters in diameter, wide enough for swimming and plenty deep for diving.   The waterfall is actually a system of cascades and to get to the main falls you have to walk on the cascades themselves. Among the family of waterfalls of Calbayog City, Bangon and Bugtong Falls are among the most popular.   Bangon-Bugtong Falls is not only a tourist spot but also a potential future source of hydro-electric power for Calbayog City and its neighboring localities. This beautiful  scenic spot has been featured thrice in the calendars of three multi-national corporations.
