Agpay Falls
Agpay Falls
In San Nicolas, Pangasinan there is a waterfalls name Agpay Falls others call it Pinsal. It is a more or less 100 meters high waterfalls located in a remote scenery where the forestry is abundant. To reach Agpay Falls, one has to go down the stone steps leading to a kilometer-long trail. During the past, reaching Agpay Falls is a very hard task, as there were no marked trails during that time. At present, the trail has been developed by the local people exploring the falls.
Agpay Falls, located at Barangay San Felipe, San Nicolas, Pangasinan, has one of the clearest flowing water we have yet seen. Rocks and stones found in the river path of the waterfalls are unique due to its colors and shapes. The water flows from Caraballo Mountains through the mountain's lush and untouched forest which keeps the water clear even during heavy rains. The water temperature is cold even during summer but, for people who are not used to cold water, they can still take a swim for a few minutes before their teeth should start to chatter.
One must hike about 30-45 minutes through a small path to reach the falls. No way around this. And the hike is not for the not-so-sure-footed either! The path is slippery at some sections and is just a couple of feet from the almost-vertical side of the mountain.
