Majayjay is a town in the province of Laguna. The place has many tourist attractions including the famous Mount Banahaw where it became a haven for mountain climbers and hikers. At the foot of the mountain one can explore the alluring Bukal Falls, also known as Kilangin Falls.

The falls borders the town of Liliw and Majayjay. In Majayjay, it is located in Brgy. Bukal, hence locals call it the Bukal Falls. Meanwhile for the Liliw locals, it is called the Kilangin Falls. It is also called Maimpis Falls by some residents there.


The waterfall is surrounded by rusty and crimson-coloured rocks covered with lush green moss. The crystal clear pools, the icy cold water and the high rock walls will greet tourists once they reach Bukal Falls. The water source of the waterfall comes from a pool surrounded by green wall of rocks; this is what the folks primarily refer as the Kilangin Falls.

Downstream are innumerable unnamed cascades and provoking pools which are perfect for travellers. The area that surrounds Bukal Falls is not yet well established but there are plans to develop the place and actively promote it alongside Tanay Falls which is more popular.

Visitors will certainly enjoy the stunning scenery of Bukal Falls and they can enjoy swimming or diving around but it is advisable for tourists to visit the place on a day-hike because there is no campsite around the falls nor comfort rooms or a private area for personal needs. One can spend the night on resorts nearby.
