About Can-umantad Falls
Can-umantad Falls is the tallest waterfall in Bohol, located in Barangay Cadapdapan in the municipality of Candijay in eastern Bohol. The three-tiered cascade drops approximately 60 meters into a natural basin surrounded by forest and limestone cliffs. It is known for its height, layered rock formations, and setting among rice terraces and coconut groves, making it a prominent natural attraction in Candijay.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a descent via concrete steps to a forested gorge where the three-tiered waterfall flows over limestone cliffs into a shallow pool at the base. The site includes viewing areas at different levels, a natural pool for wading and swimming when water conditions permit, and surrounding vegetation and rice terraces visible along the access trail. Local guides accompany visitors and small stalls are present near the entrance.
