Part 2: Holy Week Trip At Bolinao, Pangasinan
After a hearty breakfast at the Nautilus, we're on our way to the second leg of our Pangasinan get-away.
Next stop, Bolinao and its famous waterfalls.
There are 3 falls located near each other, but we only got to visit the first. It was packed with people. The main attraction is the 20-something-feet falls that people jump from. There's another falls at the top with a shorter jump.
Entrance is P60 for adults, while kids are free. Parking is P50.
There are bamboo cottages to rent, for P200 and people tend to come and go. So if you're only taking a short dip or jumping from the falls, I would suggest not to bother unpacking or renting a cottage.
Enchanted Cave is an underground natural spring off Patar road. The owners made a nice development of the area with plenty of flowers around big, tall trees. There are gazebos for rent for a nice romantic gathering, like debut or a wedding reception.
Entrance is a bit pricey at P150 per head; whether adult or kids or even if you're not taking a dip on the cave itself.
There's a small pool with natural water for small kids, with a life guard on standby. So it's safe. But be careful navigating the stairs. It's made up of limestone and would cut your knee deep if you slip.
There's a long line going into the cave since they only permit limited number of persons inside for safety. It's a real cave with a small opening and cemented stairs to gown down too. Inside is a cavern with fresh spring water, about 7 feet deep. There are thick ropes lining the sides for people to hold on too. France used his mask to swim around with no additional vest. He's getting good at it. After 20 minutes of waddling, we decided to come up and find our next destination.
