Pahangong Twin Falls

Overview

Pahangong Twin Falls — also called Pahangog Twin Falls or Dimiao Twin Falls — sits in Barangay Guingoyuran, Dimiao, Bohol. The limestone face here splits the flow naturally into two parallel cascades, the source of the “twin” name, dropping a commonly cited 30 metres (roughly 90 feet) into turquoise rock pools. The flow runs year-round, which is not guaranteed at every waterfall in interior Bohol — a sign the catchment forest above it still holds water through the dry months.

Swimming and cliff jumping are the on-site activities, and orchids grow through the surrounding vegetation.

Location

Barangay Guingoyuran, Dimiao, Bohol. Dimiao is in the southern interior of Bohol, about 50 km from Tagbilaran City — a farming town where rice, corn, and coconut carry the local economy more than tourism does, waterfalls included.

Getting There

From Tagbilaran City, travel by bus or jeepney southeast toward Dimiao (approximately 1.5–2 hours). From Dimiao town proper, proceed to Barangay Guingoyuran — habal-habal is the standard transport for the final stretch. A short trek is required from the barangay road to the falls, described by one visitor guide as an easy-to-moderate hike over a rocky trail followed by steep concrete stairs with handrails, taking roughly 10 minutes to reach the falls.

What to Expect

The twin cascade structure is the visual centrepiece — two parallel falls descending the same limestone face side by side. The pools are suitable for swimming. Cliff jumping is practised by locals and visiting groups. The surrounding forested area includes orchid species growing on the rocky terrain. A bamboo bridge crossing, a sandy islet, and cave exploration are also reported at the site.

Dimiao also has Damagan Falls and Ingkumhan Falls in the same municipality for multi-waterfall day trips.
