Description and is it worth a visit
Pamuayan Waterfalls is located on the road between the Port of Barton and San Vicent only four kilometers from the Port of Barton, and therefore it can even be visited from this resort on foot. The waterfall is not very large and not very full-flowing, but at its foot there is a large swimming pool for bathing in refreshing water, and therefore it is popular with holidaymakers in the Port of Barton.
Near the waterfall there are remnants of infrastructure: a toilet, a changing cabin and a gazebo with a table. But, unfortunately, all this is abandoned, destroyed by bad weather and requires restoration.

🚶 How to get there
Pamuayan Waterfalls is located on the road between the Port of Barton, 4 kilometers from the Port of Barton and 25 kilometers from San Vicente (waterfall on the map). At the entrance to the waterfall there is a booth where you need to register in the magazine and leave donations in the box. After this booth, you can drive a little further to the parking lot, and then walk 5-10 minutes directly to the waterfall along a clearly visible path without ascents and descents.
From the Port of Barton to Pamuayan can be reached on foot in 40-50 minutes, by tricycle or motorcycle taxi from 100 pesos, or by rented motorbike (rent in the village costs from 500 pesos / day). Along the way, you will have to ford a small river, but perhaps in the near future there will be a bridge here, because work is underway to build a road in this direction.
From San Vicente to Pamuyan, all maps and navigators build an 80-kilometer detour route through Rojas, but in fact there is a shorter road along the coast with a length of about 25 kilometers. Now it is mostly unpaved, but you can safely drive along it on any transport, besides, it is being repaired and will be completely asphalt in the future.
