BILIRAN WATERFALLS

ULAN-ULAN FALLS

The famed waterfalls of Sampao is very picturesque. The walk to Ulan-ulan waterfalls would take a minimum of 30 minutes to reach the place. There are no cottages along the sides of the stream and it is not a place to stay for overnight camping.

Ulan-Ulan comes from the visayan dialect which means "rain." The force of the falling waters creates a mist when hit by the sunlight appears a beautiful rainbow. Its cascading waters form a catch basin with waters sufficient for swimming. With its greenery and cool gushing waters, visitors will surely enjoy taking a bath.

It takes 15-minute walk in a forested area before reaching the crystal-clear and ice-cold rapids of water coming from the cathedral-like falls nestled in the town of Almeria.
