Ganano Falls - First Main Falls

One of the most beautiful falls I have ever seen. It looks majestic and relaxing. The way going there is not that hard. The trails are visible. Just be careful when crossing minor rivers because the force of the water are strong. During rainy days, the stones are slippery and the road is muddy.

There is a registration area where you have to enlist before you start trekking. Having a guide is mandatory. Only two comfort rooms are available where you could take a bath after the trek. There are several stations along the way where you could take a rest. Depending on your speed, it will only take you 2-3 hours to finish the entire trek.

If you are up for an adventure climbing and walking, then this is the right place for you! All the pain walking less than an hour is worth it. The falls view is breath taking, water are definitely called, people are friendly and the place is a total serenity ❤

1 hr rolling hike to the Main Falls which is the tallest.

Worth the adventure since this waterfalls was beautiful

Long trek but worth it.

Nakaka miss ang Ganano Falls. ♥ Gustong gusto ko ng bumalik ASAP. Nakakawala ng stress lalo na kapag maraming iniisip. Remember po na mag pray muna bago umakyat. ♥

Pas facile pour des débutants mais cela fait deux fois que j'y vais et j'y retournerai! Très beau.

We started our trek at 7 am on a Saturday and finished at 9:49 am. The trek was quite challenging because our group arrived in Quirino without having breakfast (not a good idea) and we didn't expect the trek to be long. I misunderstood our tour guide; I thought there were only 4 stations before reaching the falls, but there were actually 14 stations. Along the way, we crossed bridges, rivers, rocks, and slippery stones. There was also some uphill climbing involved. I highly recommend wearing sturdy footwear that isn't slippery. During our trek to Ganano Falls, we learned from our tour guide that there are tribal groups living in Quirino. Additionally, it was fascinating to discover that our tour guide is proficient in speaking 7 languages/dialects in total. This added cultural insight made our experience even more enriching and memorable.

A nice spot to go for a walk, entrance fee is 30p and the tour guide is 300p, consider your footware carefully as there are multiple river crossing and mud and slippery surfaces the whole way. I wouldn't suggest taking children due to the challenging conditions and I took all my camera gear and drone but it wasn't really worth the extra weight as the falls at some stages were either not impressive or at the main falls it's to misty. If the trek up is to easy consider donating a slipper to the river and make the trek back barefoot🤣

Quirino Adventure
Day 1 - November 3, 2023

Ganano Falls in Diffun, Quirino is the 2nd tallest of water falls in Luzon? The height of this falls may be the equivalent of a four storey building in the metropolis.

Prior trekking, one has to register participants there in Baguio Village Tourist Information Center, Diffun, Quirino and it is a must to avail of a local guide. Luckily, we had Dindo as our mountain guide. The hike would take about five kilometers which can be covered in one and a half hour.

Trekking is really not that extreme of an adventure. The trail abounds with grass, natural dried leaves providing for ground cover which cushions the sole of our feet as we walk along & get connected with nature. The towering flora filtering the sun's rays makes for a soothing trek.

We didn't see any of fauna but we did hear the chirps & sounds of the wilderness being our music along the way.

Be prepared to get wet, cross rivers & streams. Overall, the experience is breathtaking. What with the beautiful and majestic waters cascading down the cliff.

Trekking to Ganano Falls makes the event a bit extreme. The trails are surrounded by trees, shrubs, bamboo, and other greens so the trek was relaxing. Not only that, there are flowers and butterflies making our journey colorful. After an hour, we were rewarded with a tantalizing view of the waterfalls. The tranquility is preserved because of the trees. There are gigantic rock formations and towering limestone cliffs. It’s a paradise.
