Pagsanjan is a town in Luzon, the chief island of the Philippines.

[edit] Understand

Pagsanjan (pronounced "pag-san-HAN") is on a river of the same name.

[edit] Get in

You can take a bus from the Buendia bus terminal in Manila to Santa Cruz. It takes about 2-3 hours, depending on traffic. The buses leave very frequently, and the bus fare was 123.50 pesos as of March 2008. A cab driver in Manila should be able to direct you to the correct bus terminal. The last bus returning from Santa Cruz to Manila leaves at 7pm.

Once you arrive in Santa Cruz, you can take a jeepney to Pagsanjan for 10 pesos per person (as of March 2008).

Take the jeepney to the tourism office -- they will direct you to the river and find you a boatman.

[edit] Get around

[edit][add listing] See

• Up-river from this town is Pagsanjan Falls. It is a moderate-sized waterfall (perhaps 15-20 meters), but very pretty. The trip there is mostly through wild jungle in a deep canyon. Very scenic. If you are fortunate you may even see monkeys in the jungle along the canyon walls.

[edit][add listing] Do

The trip up-river to the falls is the main attraction here. There is a standard fare for a boat ride, regulated by the tourism office. It is 660 pesos per person. Tipping is optional, but a small tip for each boatman (there are two per boat) is expected.

Recommended outfitters:

• Pagsanjan Floating Station and Restaurant. A package (including transportation from Manila) can be booked through AVA Sightseers, 0917-648-8382. Ask for Alex or Angel. If you wish you also can have a dinner on the river (included in one of the packages).

[edit][add listing] Buy

Beware that there are no international ATMs here. The nearest one is the Metrobank in Santa Cruz about 10 km away. Traveler's checks might be accepted at the PNB, but expect a long wait and you'll need a photocopy of your main passport page.

[edit][add listing] Eat

Half-way through the boat ride, there is a stop where you can buy food on the river. Chicken, eggplant, rice, beer, buko juice, and drinks are for sale.
