Where The Roads Take Us

🌿 Jordan Falls
📍 Brgy. Getsemane, Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur, Philippines

Jordan Falls is a large and impressive waterfall tucked in the forest of Brgy. Getsemane. Its size becomes more evident during normal or rainy conditions, but during prolonged hot weather, the water flow becomes thinner—making it appear smaller than it actually is.

Despite this, the falls still feature a beautiful turquoise pool surrounded by massive limestone rocks and cliffs, creating a natural basin perfect for swimming. The rock formations give the place a rugged and adventurous feel, while the clear water adds a calm and refreshing atmosphere.

Even with reduced water flow, the area remains visually stunning and relaxing—but when the water is strong, Jordan Falls truly shows its full power and scale.
