Tangadan Falls in La Union
The province of La Union, north of Manila is known for its famous surfing spots – with the town of San Juan being the most visited. In recent years, the sleepy surfing town has been making waves into the local and international surfing scene. Just a few minutes away from here is San Gabriel where Tangadan Falls is located – overlooked, but still worth a visit!
GETTING THERE
- Make your way to San Juan, La Union. Buses to Laoag and Vigan usually passes by San Juan.
- From San Juan La Union, ride a jeepney going to San Gabriel.
- From San Gabriel, you may ride a tricycle going the the Tangadan Falls jump-off. Just ask the tricycle driver to drop you off there.
There are now two jump-offs to Tangadan Falls. If you’re commuting, once you reach San Gabriel, tricycle drivers will bring you to the jump-off which requires you to river trek (Baroro River) for around an hour. If you have your own car, there’s a possible jump-off beyond the town of San Gabriel which will only require you a 20-minute hike down to the falls.
We brought our own car (Toyota Vios) and just used Google Maps to look for the easier jump-off (We typed in Tangadan falls). Be extra careful as the road can be very steep. Make sure your car can take it – preferably an SUV. The drive to San Juan took around 5-6 hours with stopovers while the drive to the jump-off took 40 minutes.
