Explore the Wonders of Vera Falls Malinao in Albay Philippines

Vera Falls is one of the best attractions we’ve visited in Albay.

Located in a secluded nook at the southern base of Mt. Malinao is Vera Falls: a paradise of forest and clear cascading water, a little over an hour away from Legazpi. It is a natural treasure to behold and an accessible ecotourism site with a big reward. An exotic 1,200m (1,000 yards) foot trail through lush vegetation awaits trekkers before arriving at the crystal blue lagoon covered under a forest canopy. The sound of the cascading water and native birds heightens the sense of tropical paradise.

One of the off-the-beaten-path destinations you should visit, Vera Falls is located in Malinao Albay.
