Batlag Falls Tanay Rizal

To reach it: There is a sign that says “Batlag Falls” near the Daranak Falls pool. Take the cemented foothpath which will ascend into a makeshift gate, where another P20 will have to be paid. A forest will ensue, and two waterfalls, each with a catchbasin. The smaller one, on the left, has a veil-like cascade whereas the larger one, as mentioned, has an unusual configuration. You may swim in both pools although you have to be careful as the floor of the pool is likewise unusually shaped, with sharp rocks abruptly jutting out.

You can go even further up to the origin of Batlag Falls. Here the stream is clearer. Locals tell of waterfalls deeper in the mountains of Tanay and outlying towns.

Cagsawa Ruins & Mayon Volcano in Daraga Albay

Wow! overlooking view of Mayon Volcano from Old Church in Daraga Albay. The Cagsawa Ruins is also spelled as Kagsawa or Cagsaua. Unfortunately, a bridge going to the former parking area was washed away during a recent typhoon. For almost two centuries the Cagsawa Ruins has stood as a symbol of Bicol region's impressive landscape, rich history and the people. This  is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Albay. It is located in Barangay Busay, Cagsawa, in the Municipality of Daraga in Albay.
