The best part of the eco-park is the the trek to Ambon-Ambon Falls.
I paid P360 for the trek and every cent is worth it. The first part of the trek is passing the Biak-na-Bato (literally, the huge rock is divided into two pieces).
Bamboo Raft No. 1
The best part of the trek is riding the bamboo rafts. There are a total of 3 bamboo rafts and this experience is simply the best!
The guide/boatman will maneuver the bamboo raft in the river and you will definitely enjoy this one! I remember my tour in Pagsanjan falls while onboard the raft.
Bamboo Raft No. 2
Then, we walked again towards the second raft. One has to be careful while walking the river. The rocks are slippery and if you lose your balance, then everything gets wet (even your gadgets!).
Bamboo Raft No. 3
And the last raft was near the falls and we boarded the last one.
Ambon-Ambon Falls
Finally, the main attraction was reached after 30 minutes of trekking. The reason why it was called Ambon-Ambon Falls is because it is really raining in the falls because the water from the falls is hitting the huge rocks which causes the rain effect.
The adventure did not stop at the falls. I had to do river tubing!
However, I missed the opportunity of doing camping in the eco-park. I will be back in my next travel.

Another thing that I missed is going to the so-called Buntot Palos Falls or Hidden Falls. I promised myself that I will be back!
It's really More Fun in Laguna!!
