Imugan Falls (a hidden sanctuary!)

One of the most famous falls in Nueva Vizcaya is the Imugan Falls. It is located in the province’s southernmost town, Sta. Fe. Imugan Falls is a 35-foot spring waterfalls flowing between two mountains. It is so called a hidden sanctuary since it will take you seven kilometers of unpaved road from the national highway, and an additional one kilometer hike from Brgy. Imugan. If you're up to the challenge and you want to experience nature in its unadulterated form, you'll be rewarded with such a majestic sanctuary after hiking through the rugged terrain.

Imugan is one of the barangays of Sta. Fe, a sleepy town in province of Nueva Vizcaya. Imugan is nestled high up in the Caraballo Mountain Range bordering Nueva Vizcaya and the province of Pangasinan. It’s one of those places where if you look both ways you can see everything. Not much to see there for tourists (except for the waterfalls of course!) but nature lovers would find this remote and rustic village a perfect getaway place . Researchers, both foreign and local, have also been frequenting the place. Imugan, you see, is the only place in the Philippines where they have a carbon trading initiative (in line with the Kyoto Protocol) and a very successful sustainable forest management program.. The place is being maintained by the Kalahan Foundation (setup by the community, the whole of Imugan is ancestral domain of the Kalahan tribe).
