Down South Travels | Aliwagwag Falls Ecopark

The Aliwagwag Falls is a protected landscape that preserves a major drainage catchment in the Southern Philippine Islands of the Davao Region, and it is known as the Highest Waterfalls in the country. It contains the headwaters of the Cateel River in the southern Diuata Mountain range. It provides the water source and irrigation for surrounding rice fields and communities in Davao de Oro and Davao Oriental provinces, which was declared a National Park in July 2018.

It was named after the remote rural village in the municipality of Cateel, located in the Eastern Mindanao Biodiversity Corridor, which contains one of the largest remaining blocks of tropical lowland rainforest in the Philippines.
