Cancalanog Falls and River: A Sweet Little Spot in Alegria, Cebu

The Biyahero Jai on Cancalanog Falls natural pool


Cancalanog Falls or Cangcalanog River to be accurate is part of the river system in Alegria, Cebu that stretches all the way and connects to the river system of Kawasan Falls. It's a small-scale river with distinctive man-made and natural mini-falls along with a circular basin. This is a sweet little spot in Alegria, Cebu!

Cancalanog Falls is also known by locals as Cangcalanog Falls or Cangkalanog Falls. In fact, maps and GPS services show Cangkalanog Falls when searching this spot and the information center in the location indicates Cangcalanog Falls. These names may vary slightly from one another but be aware that it refers to the same spot.



Nature at It's Best

Located in the mountainous part of Alegria, Cangcalanog Falls showcases the best of nature. Fresh and clean air, trees covering the mountains, and cold running water to sustain life. A nice place to escape the hassle of living in the city and unwind!

Still Remains Off the Beaten Path 

In the previous years, Cancalanog Falls in Alegia, Cebu gained popularity among local and foreign tourists. Even so, the spot remains serene and less crowded compared to other spots in the area like the Kawasan Falls. Its location might be a factor but it's just amazing to be in such a wonderful place and enjoy it with less crowd around or none at all.

When we arrived in the area, only two foreign visitors were enjoying swimming in the cold water and a few minutes later they left. Then, we had the whole place for ourselves to enjoy. It's just great!
