About This Destination
Pulacan Falls is a spectacular fan-shaped waterfall located approximately 12 kilometers from Pagadian City, along the main highway near Labangan. The water cascades gracefully over natural rock terraces, spreading into a wide, curtain-like formation before collecting in multiple emerald pools below. The falls spans approximately 400 square meters and is framed by tall tropical trees and dense vegetation that provide natural shade. Unlike many waterfalls that require difficult treks, Pulacan Falls is relatively accessible from the highway, making it a convenient stop for travelers. The layered rock formations create natural sitting areas and shallow pools that are safe for wading.
