DITUMABO FALLS
Barangay Ditumabo, San Luis, Aurora
Ditumabo Falls is one of the key attractions of the
province of Aurora. Though currently the site of an
ongoing hydroelectric project, the falls is still one
enchanting site to behold and certainly worth the
visit. It towers more than a hundred feet above a
wide basin and imposing cliffs on both sides hem
the falls itself. The locals have nicknamed it ?the
mother falls.? The trek alone to the falls is a treat in
itself. One gets to pass through lush vegetation,
large boulders, a number of sprays and small
waterfalls, and cross several streams and rivulets.
There are wooden footways already in place;
perhaps to aid the construction crews ferrying
supplies to the small dam being constructed near
the falls.

unspoiled. Inaccessible to most

getaway.

monsoon winds that blow from October through
February, making it an ideal spot for windsurfing,
