Palo Alto Falls (Baras, Rizal)

Palo Alto falls is located inside the real estate development of Sta. Lucia Realty in Baras, Rizal. The falls can be reached after a not more than two hours leisurely drive from the Masinag-Antipolo Junction. Just head straight following the Marcos highway route, passing through Cogeo and Boso-Boso Resort.  The drive is scenic and traffic free.

Upon reaching the huge sign of Palo Alto, we asked the security guard at the entrance of the subdivision if we can visit the falls. After the routine inspection, he showed us the direction to the falls that is - to go straight and turn left at the first intersection of the subdivision.

Palo Alto Falls in Summer  

On the way to the falls, we noticed the well-cemented roads with trees and lush vegetation providing temporary respite from the summer heat. The area appears to be still in the development stage as houses are yet to be built.

A notice posted at the entrance of the falls says - P 100.00 per person is the entrance fee. However, for fifteen minutes visitors are allowed to have a “site inspection”.

There were so many people wanting to escape the summer heat in Palo Alto. Notice the children's pool beside the main pool. 

While we have not seen the full splendor of Palo Alto Falls, we would again visit the area. I can imagine how beautiful this falls would be during the rainy season.  But next time, we would not forget to bring a bottle of water to quench our thirst.
