The tour will begin as soon as your guide picks you up within the city. You will make your way to Barangay Sibulao, where the Merloquet Falls is located. It sits over 70 kilometers away from Zamboanga town proper, so you have plenty of time to enjoy the local scenery while on your way. Upon arriving at barangay Sibulao, your guide will lead you up the trail to the Merloquet Falls.
The falls is one of the developing eco-tourism sites in Zamboanga. It boasts a curtain-like and two-tiered structure that leaves visitors in awe. Add this to the lush greeneries surrounding the falls and you have an Instagrammable backdrop for your photos.
While at the falls, feel free to enjoy the serenity of the area and explore the nearby surroundings. You will be given plenty of time to explore and take a dip in the cool waters of the falls. Make sure to sit on one of the rocky tiers to experience the strong water pressure, as well.
In case you get hungry from all of the swimming, a packed lunch will be served for you to replenish your energy. Afterward, swim a little more and take in the falls’ refreshing waters before you change into dry clothes. Don’t forget to take tons of photos at the falls as your souvenir, too. You will then head back to the city later in the afternoon.
