Damagan Falls

Overview

Damagan Falls (also spelled Dam-agan Falls) is a waterfall in Barangay Catugasan, Dimiao, Bohol, listed in the provincial tourist-attraction inventory under the Nature / Falls classification. Two cascades feed a swimming pool, reached on foot through grassland and coconut groves.

[TO ENRICH: Exact height and pool depth not confirmed by an independently verifiable source — visitor accounts describe the falls but do not give measurements.]

Location

Barangay Catugasan, Dimiao, Bohol. Dimiao is a municipality in south-central Bohol, approximately 45 km from Tagbilaran City.

[FACT NEEDED: Precise coordinates beyond the frontmatter estimate and barangay road access details not confirmed by an independent source.]

Getting There

The nearest major access point is Tagbilaran City (approx. 45 km). From Tagbilaran, take a bus or van bound for Dimiao or Jagna and alight at Catugasan barangay. Visitor accounts note that the access road doesn’t reliably show up on standard mapping apps, so confirming the trailhead locally — or via a specific shared map pin — before travel is worth doing.

The trail itself is an easy walk: grassland and coconut trees first, then downhill alongside an irrigation canal to reach the falls.

[FACT NEEDED: Habal-habal or motorcycle-hire availability and travel time from Dimiao town centre to the trailhead not confirmed by an independent source.]

Practical Info

• Entrance fee: ₱30 per person (as reported by a 2020s visitor guide; not confirmed against an official current rate)
• Facilities: restrooms, huts with benches, and barbecue areas are available on-site
• A bamboo raft is available for use on the pool

[FACT NEEDED: Opening hours, barangay permit requirements, and guide availability not confirmed by an independent source.]

What to Expect

The two cascades feed a pool good for swimming, though the current near the base can run strong enough to push swimmers back from it. A bamboo raft sits at the site for use on the water. Dimiao belongs to Bohol’s rice-and-coconut interior, and the same irrigation canal that lines the final stretch of trail is part of that working landscape rather than built for visitors.

[TO ENRICH: Falls height, water volume, and surrounding forest cover beyond the immediate trail approach not confirmed by an independent source.]

Notes

Listed in BPTO Table 11 (Inventory of Tourist Attractions) under tourism type “Nature,” category “Falls.” Dimiao municipality also has Ingkumhan Falls and Pahangong Twin Falls within its boundaries.
