Are you looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure in Nueva Ecija? Consider visiting the Gabaldon Falls, a picturesque natural wonder tucked away in the heart of the province. Let me share my experience with this stunning natural attraction and help you plan your own visit.
Gabaldon Falls is a majestic waterfall located in the municipality of Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija. The falls is named after the municipality and is situated within the Sierra Madre mountain range. The journey to Gabaldon Falls is an adventure in itself, as the road leading to the falls is quite narrow and winding. However, the scenic views of lush forests and winding rivers make the drive worth it.
Upon arriving at the falls, you'll be greeted with crystal clear waters cascading down the rocks, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The falls features several tiers, with each level offering a different perspective of the surrounding landscape. The topmost tier offers the most spectacular view of the falls, while the lower tiers offer a refreshing pool where visitors can take a dip and cool off from the heat. Vistors can only stay at the basin and not allowed to go up to the top of the waterfalls.
As a nature lover, I cant deny that Gabaldon Falls is an Instagram-worthy spot, with the perfect backdrop for photos and selfies. However, it's not just about the 'gram here, as the falls also offers a chance to reconnect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The sound of the rushing water, the lush greenery, and the fresh air provide a natural therapy for the mind and soul.
