For locals living near Laguna especially in Manila it is the perfect place for quick swimming vacations. Today we will write about Laguna Falls and 17 most amazing falls in Laguna.
Laguna is a province located in Region IV-A Calabarzon of the Philippines. It has become one of the favorite vacation spots in Luzon because it is near Manila and there are a lot of things to do here.
BEST TIME TO VISIT LAGUNA
If you don’t know, the Philippines has only 2 seasons- wet and dry season. You should be prepared with the weather to visit falls in Laguna because it is hot and humid during the months of March to May, and can extend up to June!
However, the wet season starts from June to November. But due to climate change (which affects the Philippines the most), the rainy season can start as early as May.
We recommend that you visit Laguna falls during the month of January, as the weather is expected to be the coldest of the year plus you won’t compete with the locals during December’s holiday rush (traffic and all).
