Discovered in 2011, the site features 15 carved limestone tombs believed to date back over 1,000 years, offering a rare glimpse into pre-colonial Philippine burial practices.
The area is protected as part of an archaeological initiative, revealing fragments of tools, ceramics, and ancient culture.

Reaching the falls requires a short trek through lush greenery — a perfect escape for nature lovers and hikers seeking quiet refuge.
Its name comes from the amuguis trees native to the area, said to hold spiritual and medicinal significance among locals.
