About Miyamit Falls
Miyamit Falls is a forest waterfall located in Barangay Miyamit, Porac, Pampanga, within the Zambales mountain range near the foothills of Mount Pinatubo. Accessible via a 4x4 ride and a short trek through rivers and forest trails, it features a wide cascade flowing into a shallow basin surrounded by boulders and vegetation. It is notable as a popular day-trip nature attraction from Angeles City and Clark, managed with local Aeta guides.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect an off-road 4x4 ride through lahar and riverbed terrain followed by a 20-30 minute trek involving shallow river crossings and rocky trails to reach the falls. The site features a wide, multi-tiered cascade flowing over rocks into a shallow pool suitable for wading and swimming, surrounded by forest, boulders and mountain scenery. There are no large built structures; the area is natural with a guide station at the jump-off.
