About this place

The Bunga Twin Falls is nestled amidst the green environs of Brgy. Bunga, about four kilometers from the town proper via concrete road. The falls and the barangay were both named after the “bunga” palm (betel palm) that used to grow in abundance in the area and that until the recent past had given a means of livelihood to local residents. (The betel nut is an essential ingredient in the making of the “nganga” or betel chew and therefore was once considered part of the town’s agricultural produce.)

This gift of nature comprises of two 20-foot high waterfalls ostentatiously cascading into a 40-foot deep pool set in a sunken spot of Bunga’s naturescape. Visitors say that what the falls lacks in height it makes up for in depth and expanse of its catch basin. And they agree that the unique charm of Bunga Twin Falls comes from the fact that it is a twin falls–two falls, almost identical, flowing down in synergy to keep the pool incessantly overflowing with refreshing water.
