BUSAY FALLS IN ALBAY, BICOL


Busay Falls is a popular day trip destination for local tourists on weekends especially during the hot summer months of March, April, and May. It is tucked away in a forested mountain at the quaint town of Malilipot in Albay.

The seven-tiered falls are about 5 kilometers from Tabaco City proper, 20 kilometers north of Legaspi City and is easily accessible by both private and public transport. It is considered one of the highest waterfalls in the country descending in stages from a height of 250 meters cascading into seven small pools.

The water plunges approximately 91 meters from its highest point, and the last 40-meter cascade drops to a small and shallow pool which is the most popular among the seven falls.

The second waterfalls  is just about 5-10 minutes of scrambling over a fairly steep trail.  The second cascade from the bottom has clearer pool and fewer visitors.   It has two small cascades that drop on a narrow but clearer pool, hemmed by green canopy.

The trail to the last remaining waterfalls is quite obscured it is advisable to have a guide if you aren’t familiar with the area. But it would be nice to come to Busay Falls during the rainy season when the river is surging with water and the waterfalls are at their best.
