A high cascade formed by the convergence of three rivers flowing from Magallanes, Bailen, and Maragondon. This pristine waterway has received awards from the government for its cleanliness. The falls can be accessed by walking through a 4x4 trail from the Maragondon-Aguinaldo national road until you reach a grassland. The entrance to the track is at Barangay Lumipa and before downtown Bailen if you are coming from Maragondon. From the grassland, you need to descend to a slippery soil and moss-covered boulders. The trail down to the falls is not that clear as the falls is seldom accessed by hikers. The trek is about long.
