PASUQUIN, Kalitungan Falls

 

Hi, I'm Rachelle Anne Palencia Moriente. Welcome to Pasuquin!

Kalitungan Falls are located at Brgy. San Juan Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte. A beautiful discovered where it will give you more than enough amazing things to see like gigantic moss-covered trees, wild orchids, colorful mushrooms and clear water. The cold water coming from the mountainside brings your body from freezing. It is one of the enjoyable destinations in Pasuquin because of its cascading falling water.

My experience is quit exciting but its worth when you see the beauty of it. Well, it was my first time to go in kalitungan (we’re all a first timer anyway). So we should be staying together so that no one will get lost.

This paradise is only a minute away from the town in Pasuqun. You can use motorbikes or hire a tricycle to go there. But if you have your own vehicle, its good. Well, we use “kitong-kitong” to go there because if we hire a tricycle it is very expensive. Then after a minute of travelling, we reach the houses were we can park our vehicles.

Question! Why do we need to leave our vehicles?

Well ofcourse, we need to leave our vehicles because we are going to cross some rivers and there are only one way to get there and even a motorcross can’t withstand. We crossed different kind of obstacles like climbing the cliff and passing the woods. But if you’re afraid in height, then this is not your kind of adventure.. Its about 30 minutes to 1 hour walk depend on how fast you are. And make sure you ate enough food because you need energy and you’ll get sweat (who would like to be collapse somewhere along the way right).

Then FINALLY! we reach our destination. And all I can say is “WOW”…. It was indeed a real paradise. What a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
