haven of a dozen and one waterfalls
Aras Falls
Aras Falls is located at Brgy. Bigaan with a

height of modern difficulty (about 3 to 4-story

waterfall is noted for its pristine beauty
surrounded by rocks and is well shaded with
trees
Botolan Falls

water makes most of the visitors
go swimming.
Aras Cave
One of the unique attraction of

San Teodoro is the Aras Cave.
Punta Ilag Fish Sanctuary

Tagong Paraiso Falls
Tagong Paraiso Falls is an easy

trek hidden paradise with a lush
scenery over the sleeping river that
rarely requires tourists to get their
boots wet. This waterfalls is
located at Brgy. Calangatan, San
Teodoro, where the air is cool and
there is a rush of the crystal-clear
deep cold base water that stays
behind.
Arigoy River
Arigoy River is a perfect place for kayakers to beat the heat. This is an 8-km
stretched white-water river comprising of 17 intense rapids. One of which is
called the “Pidong’s rapid” the very first rapid that seems to frightens the
beginners. For an exhilarating (two) 2 hours, guests can do kayaking down
the rapids of this pristine river.
Punta Baluarte Spanish Fortress
Punta Baluarte is a Spanish

fortress where tourists can make
a cultural tour around the area,
experience local cuisine in a food
hub, and picture taking in
dramatic scenery.
Coco Festival
Coco festival is the annual activity in the municipality of San Teodoro that displays the many uses of coconut –
from its leaves, trunks, and down to its roots. Adyawan/Coco is one variety of this “tree of life” that is
common among the Iraya-Mangyans of San Teodoro. This festival further highligts the culture and tradition of
this indigenous group, making them realized that they are part of the community manifested in the town’s
festive way of holding the celebration.
Tacligan Beach Front

perfect combination of natural beauty and
serenity which is located at Brgy. Tacligan
Ecotourism Park
Ecotourism park is a combination
of nature and park experience.
Here present are the crocodile farm,
birds and fireflies flying around,
mangroves, and tourists can enjoy
glass bottom kayaking, tasting of
local foods and delicacies are
available while relaxing doing some
spa.
Hanging Bridge
Saclag’s famous hanging bridge is made up of

copper cable with aluminum steps. This
bridge is being used to cross a big river in the
mountain near the Mangyan Village. To cross
the bridge while hearing the bending metals is
the “thrill” that tourists are looking forward to
experience in this place.
