Passing by on the busy highway up the hill from Taytay to the city of Antipolo, one might never guess that just a few yards away these three waterfalls plummet down east to the valley below.

Access to the falls themselves is only via poorly maintained, steep dirt trails that can be treacherous when wet. The main viewing area is between the first and second falls, although there is also a walkway above the first falls. There is no access to the area at the bottom of the falls from this park. The local boys gather here to swim, get water, while the women may be seen below washing clothes.

The park area above the falls features a basketball area, a small aviary and botanical garden and a shelter with tables and chairs. It is here that wedding parties often gather, esp. for photos.

There is a sign at the main highway, just before the large archway welcoming visitors to Antipolo, that directs one down a small paved side street where the park can be found in about a 100 meters on the right.
