Tuburan, a town known for its cold springs and mountain landscapes, holds a lesser-known natural attraction that’s quietly gaining attention, Montealegre Falls, located in the highland barangay of Montealegre.
A Spot in the Highlands
Montealegre Falls is not the easiest destination to find, but that’s part of its charm. From Tuburan town proper, travelers head uphill to Barangay Montealegre. The road narrows, and the final stretch requires a short trek, nothing extreme, but enough to remind you that good things require effort.
Along the trail, you’ll pass by coconut trees, wild plants, and the occasional carabao. It’s a glimpse of provincial life and nature at its most relaxed.
What to Expect
Montealegre Falls is modest in size but rich in atmosphere. The water is clear and cool, perfect for dipping your feet or a short swim. There are no built cottages or commercial establishments around, which helps preserve its quiet, secluded appeal.
Visitors often find themselves enjoying the place alone or with only a few other groups, especially on weekdays. It’s ideal for travelers who want to avoid crowds and simply enjoy the moment.
