Palale Falls


In Malinao, this falls have been branded as a source of disastrous floods. During good weather, its cascading water like the Bugsucan Falls is a splendid site because of its lush surroundings. It is very accessible by foot trails.

How to get there

Deep in the heart of Bicol is the Province of Albay. Take a bus, plane, or train from Manila. The choice is yours.

By Air

Albay can be reached by plane through the Legazpi Airport. It is served by Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines, and Cebu Pacific flying daily to Legazpi from Manila and vice versa. The approach to Legazpi Airport commands a bird's eye view of the majestic Mayon Volcano - Albay's pride. Take the seat nearest the window on the forward section of the aircraft; the wings can get in the way of your view.

By Land    

Several buses leave Manila daily going to Legazpi, like Cagsawa Travel and Tours, Inc., Philtranco, Peñafrancia, Amihan (AM) Travel and Tours, Isarog, St. Jude Transit, and Goldline Tours, Inc. The terminals are located at the Araneta Center in Cubao and in Ermita, Manila, near the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Travel during the day is cool. The lush green scenery is magnificent. Drop by the clean rest areas at the forest reserves of Atimonan in Quezon Province or at the Bicol National Park. The trip is as good as the destination itself.

From Legazpi Airport, you can ride a tricycle going to the terminal. From the terminal, you need to ride a jeepney bound for the town of Malinao or Tabaco City. Then from Tabaco, ride a jeepney passing through the town of Malinao.

Getting around

Buses and jeepneys are generally the main mode of transportation in getting around Albay. Pedicabs and tricycles are also available for short distance travels. Taxis and rent-a-cars are also available.
