About Mag-aso Falls
Mag-aso Falls is a twin cascade waterfall located in Barangay Can-omay, Antequera, Bohol, Philippines. Set within a forested ravine, the falls drop about 8 meters into a deep turquoise natural pool popular for swimming. Developed as a local eco-tourism site, it features concrete steps, viewing decks, and rental cottages. The site is known for its accessible location near Tagbilaran City and its clear, cool waters surrounded by lush vegetation.
Visitors guide
Visitors descend a long concrete staircase into a forested basin where two side-by-side cascades drop about 8 meters into a wide, deep natural pool with turquoise water. The pool area has concrete viewing decks, designated swimming areas, and open-air cottages along the edge for picnics and resting. Surroundings are lush with trees, rock walls, and vegetation. Visitors can swim, wade, take photographs, and relax in rented cottages. Facilities are basic and the site can be busy on weekends and holidays.
