In a distant place in Laguna, lies a hidden jewel that the locals are proud of, the Kilangin Falls. The crystal clear water of the spring makes all the enthusiastic souls to shiver and stock-still. This body of water is both a natural cold spring and a waterfall. The folks living nearby labeled this place differently. Those who lived in the town of Majayjay called this place “Bukal Falls” and on the other side, the folks living in Liliw named this place “Kilangin Falls”. Both town of Majayjay and Liliw are part of the province of Laguna.
The quest to discover a million and one new things is wearisome and the path is not always a walk in the park, but it is always rewarding. Going to falls takes an hour of walk under the shadow of gigantic greens.
As the sound of the stream slowly increasing, the trail is also gradually developing into a more challenging way. But don’t worry, there are handles along the trail to keep you from sliding.
This hidden falls is magical. Due to its crystal clear nature, everything is visible from above, yet no one can touch its rock bottom.

Nearby the San Pablo cathedral is the terminal of the jeep going to Liliw. Get there and drop off at Liliw Church or the St. John the Baptist Parish Church.
From there, ride a tricycle to Kilangin Falls, 40-50 pesos each depending on the number of passengers that a tricycle can accommodate.

The trek is about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
