Here's what you need to know about Miyamit Falls in Porac, Pampanga:

The most popular trail to Miyamit Falls is through Sapang Uwak in Porac, especially if you have access to a 4x4 as some parts are quite steep. The trip is always worth it as this waterfall has a distinct beauty.

Miyamit Falls features an 80-meter high stone precipice, a moderate water current during dry months—stronger during wet months, and a clean plunge pool at the bottom where you can take a dip after trekking. 

For crowd control, Porac's local government unit requires an approved permit for visitors. Unauthorized entry and walk-ins are not allowed and you can be penalized for doing so.

You can make your day trip easier—with less stressful planning, and more about the adventure—by booking through Pinatubo Mountaineer travel agency for as low as P1,950 per person. Their tours include an hours-worth of 4x4 trail offroading and access to a view deck from the jumpoff point. This Department of Tourism-accredited agency also takes care of the necessary permits so you don't have to worry about anything else other than having fun.

Pinatubo Mountaineer offers a Miyamit Falls tour for as low as P1,950 per person. For more information, follow Pinatubo Mountaineer on Facebook.
