About Pangilatan Falls
Pangilatan Falls is a natural waterfall located in Barangay Artuz, municipality of Tapaz in Capiz province, Western Visayas, Philippines. Set within a forested inland area, the falls features a cascade flowing into a natural basin surrounded by vegetation and rock formations. It is known as a local eco-tourism attraction requiring a trek from the barangay proper. The site offers a relatively undeveloped natural setting typical of Tapaz's interior upland attractions.
Visitors guide

The area is largely undeveloped with minimal commercial facilities, offering a natural and quiet environment for sightseeing, photography and wading or swimming in the basin when water conditions permit. Access involves walking on natural trails with uneven terrain.
