Dampalit
Falls
is
a
mountain
waterfalls
hidden
in
the
Brgy.
Bambang-Lalakay
area,
where
the
topmost
100
feet
small
mountain
is
the
UPLB
Territory.
The
boundary
of
two
barangays
is
separated
by
a
tributary
known
as
Dampalit
Creek
or
River.
To
get
there,
parking
is
recommended
in
the
DPWH
Laguna
Region,
which
is
the
only
parking
area
for
vehicles;
however,
seek
permission
from
the
security
guard
as
parking
area
inside
the
DPWH
is
intended
for
employees
even
on
weekends.
Nevertheless,
vehicles,
even
motorcycles,
may
allow
entry
to
DPWH
and
pass
to
the
other
side
of
the
steep
paved-road,
but
expect
the
off-road
rocky
and
muddy
terrain.
They
have
parking
area
on
the
local
community
side
(non-DPWH)
but
almost
only
the
motorcycles
can
park
therein.
There
are
two
roads
to
pass
thru:
Brgy.
Bambang
or
Brgy.
Lalakbay
(roads
beside
Lalakay
Elementary
School).
Both
roads
are
passable
on
foot,
and
it
takes
20
minutes
approximately
to
reach
the
waterfall.
Once
you
saw
the
Virgin
Mary
Grotto
beside
the
Creek,
you
are
directly
reaching
Dampalit
Falls.
The
small
cottage
is
made
of
wood
and
dilapidated.
The
water
is
cold,
but
brownish.
The
flow
of
water
from
the
top
is
thin,
unlike
most
waterfalls
that
are
pouring
heavy.
The
thinness
of
the
falling
water
sometimes
becomes
a
mist
though
it
still
flows
down
the
water
pool.
The
water
pool
is
shallow,
with
a
size
of
an
human
ankle.
Though
it
is
a
private
property,
with
just
P20
entrance
fee
from
the
locals
as
part
of
tourism
livelihood
program,
you
can
swim
freely
in
the
water
near
the
waterfall.
Be
wary,
as
the
rocks
and
boulders
are
too
slippery
near
the
waterfalls.
When
going
back
to
the
highway,
another
detour
is
the
Brgy.
Lalakay
area.
Note
that
the
only
destination
is
thru
DPWH
or
Lalakay
Elementary
School,
not
the
UPLB
Jamboree
Road.
