About Mantayupan Falls
Mantayupan Falls is a two-tiered waterfall located in Barangay Campangga, Barili, in southwestern Cebu, Philippines. Standing at approximately 98 meters, it is regarded as the tallest waterfall in Cebu. Set within a lush forested gorge, the falls feature a main cascade plunging into a natural basin suitable for swimming and a smaller upper tier. Developed with concrete steps, viewing decks and cottages, it is a popular nature attraction accessible from Cebu City.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a tall two-tiered cascade set in a forested ravine with a large lower waterfall dropping about 98 meters into a wide natural pool. Access is via a developed concrete stairway of about 200 steps leading down to the basin. The site has viewing decks, cottages and picnic areas around the pool. Visitors can view the falls, swim in the designated basin, take photographs, and walk to the smaller upper tier when water conditions permit.
