Located in Barangay Bauhugan, Dimiao, Ingkumhan Falls is one of Bohol’s most enchanting natural attractions. Long believed by locals to be almost mythical, the waterfall is known for its emerald pool and a mysterious underwater cave that only one person, according to town elders, has ever fully explored. Beyond the legends, Ingkumhan Falls has long served as a peaceful escape for residents, especially during summer, where families and friends gather to swim, relax, and reconnect with nature. Its raw beauty, framed by dense greenery and limestone walls, has recently earned it a spot among Bohol’s must-visit adventure destinations.
What Makes Ingkumhan Falls Special
Ingkumhan Falls isn’t just about scenic views, it’s about experience. The deep natural pool is perfect for swimming, while cliff jumps and rope swings make it a favorite for thrill-seekers. Despite its growing popularity, the falls still feel refreshingly untouched, offering a balance between adventure and serenity. The short jungle trek going down adds to the excitement, rewarding visitors with a dramatic reveal of cascading waters and cool mist at the base.
How To Get There?
Location: Barangay Bauhugan, Dimiao, Bohol, Philippines
- By Car: From Tagbilaran City, drive south toward Dimiao (approximately 1.5–2 hours). Follow the Tagbilaran East Road until you reach the Dimiao town proper, then head toward Barangay Bauhugan. From the barangay road, signage and locals can easily point you to the jump-off area near the rice fields. Parking is available near the entrance, followed by a short walk and a steep but manageable descent to the falls.
- By Commute: From Tagbilaran City Dao Terminal, take a bus or van bound for Dimiao or Anda. Ask the driver to drop you off at Dimiao town proper. From there, hire a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) to Barangay Bauhugan and request to be taken directly to Ingkumhan Falls’ jump-off point. The motorcycle ride takes around 15–20 minutes, followed by a short trek downhill to reach the waterfall.
