At
the
mountainous
part
of
San
Gabriel,
La
Union,
one
of
the
indigenous
town
located
at
the
western
part
of
the
province,
lies
the
majestic
TANGADAN
FALLS.
Majestic
as
it
seems
since
it
is
analogically
compared
to
a
masterpiece
that
was
magically
turned
into
a
reality.
The
spot
is
definitely
an
epitome
of
perfection
because
even
at
this
moment
that
its
ambiance
already
possesses
a
bit
of
modernity,
one
can
still
feel
Mother
nature’s
touch
that
could
calm
senses,
cleanse
souls,
heals
broken
hearts
and
paves
way
to
the
realization
of
God’s
amazing
and
wonderful
creation.
Tangadan
Falls
is
located
at
brgy.
Amontoc
of
the
said
municipality.
At
about
three
to
four
years
ago,
it
started
to
create
its
wave
to
local
and
later
on
to
foreign
tourists
attractions
through
the
vast
influence
of
social
media
in
the
global
society.
It
is
not
bad
at
all
since
the
falls
could
put
in
line
with
other
famous
and
more
famous
tourist
destinations
in
the
province
and
in
the
Philippines.
Aside
from
its
natural
view
which
provides
mother
nature’s
healing
power,
one
of
its
edge
is
its
very
affordable
entrance
fee.
It
might
give
a
little
inconvinience
to
those
who
are
not
used
to
travelling,
walking
or
trekking,
but
to
the
majority
who
finds
exploration
as
a
thrill,
it
is
very
exciting
that
goes
with
climbing
up
the
mountain
to
finally
reach
up
the
amazing
tangadan
falls,
you
get
the
chance
to
interact
with
the
physical
world.
There
are
two
ways
to
reach
Tangadan
Falls.
First
is
through
a
one-hour
trek
along
the
Baroro
River.
With
the
City
of
San
Fernando
as
the
starting
point,
you
can
reach
the
town
of
San
Gabriel
through
a
jeepney.
From
there,
you
can
ride
a
tricycle
to
reach
the
first
jump
off.
Defined
by
a
mixture
of
meaningful
stroll,
hike
and
exercise,
this
routine
is
very
suitable
for
those
who
are
fond
of
adventure.
Another
jump
off
is
through
riding
a
car
beyond
the
town
after
which
is
a
20-minute
hike
down
to
the
majestic
falls.
This
routine
is
for
those
who
are
not
capable
of
walking,
hiking
and
trekking
long
distances.
Since
the
destination
is
already
under
San
Gabriel
LGU,
there
is
a
required
entrance
fee
that
varies
accordingly
but
above
all,
it
is
still
very
much
affordable
for
everyone
whatever
economic
status
they
possess.
Surely,
one
can
regain
his
energy
just
as
after
viewing
the
natural
beauty
of
falls.
Upon
arrival
at
the
Tangadan
Falls,
about
40-feet
tall
of
falling
water
welcomes
everyone.
Exactly
below
the
falls
is
a
huge
and
deep
basin-like
or
pool-like
water
area
which
attracts
tourists
to
have
their
once-in-a-lifetime
adventure
in
the
spring-cold
waters.
At
the
top
of
the
falls
where
the
water
starts
to
fall,
another
basin-like
water
area
that
is
equally
attractive
with
the
one
situated
below
anticipates
people
especially
those
who
need
a
calmer
environment.
At
the
entrance,
man-made
cottages
are
located
for
those
who
want
to
have
lunch
at
the
place.
There
are
also
stores
that
sell
commodities,
as
they
were
built
for
everyone’s
conveniences.
In
terms
of
security,
life
jackets
are
available
and
life-guards
are
all
around.
It
was
guarded
very
well
as
a
mandate
of
the
municipal
government.
To
those
who
want
to
visit
the
place
for
two
or
more
days,
there
is
no
available
lodging
house,
inn
or
hotel
at
the
municipality
so
they
have
to
travel
to
San
Juan
where
they
could
stay
during
the
nights.
Good
thing
is
it
just
takes
few
minutes
to
reach
the
said
place
since
it
is
just
in
the
neighborhood.
Although
Tangadan
Falls
is
a
perfect
destination
during
summer
time,
it
is
often
closed
to
local
and
foreign
tourists
during
rainy
season
due
to
the
possibility
of
danger
due
to
typhoons,
storms
or
strong
and
continous
rains.
Above
all,
updates
from
the
Municipal
Disaster
Risk
Reduction
and
Management
Council
are
continously
given
to
direct
and
guide
those
who
wants
to
visit
the
place.
