The Pulangbato Falls is a very unique sight.

 

Named for the reddish rocks which give the illusion of a red river, the Pulangbato Falls is a popular destination among locals and foreigners. Pulangbato Falls is located in Ocoy Valley in Valencia which is only 9.4 kilometers away from Dumaguete City.


The place is very accessible from the highway so it won’t be very difficult to get there. Habal-habal drivers are also available from the Valencia area and will gladly take you to the place for just two hundred pesos more or less for a round trip. Travel time will be 20 minutes from the Valencia area to the falls.

The rocks are actually yellow when dry and turn red when touched by the water. It is because of the iron minerals, according to the locals and it even stains! So when you dive in, expect your clothes and the soles of your feet to be stained red. Other sources claim that sulfur is present hence the smell of sulfur in the waters.

Entrance fee is only 20 pesos and you can rent cottages for 200 pesos. The Pulangbato Falls is a magnificent sight, and you surely wouldn’t want to miss that once you get your feet on Dumaguete!
